This economic growth has occurred alongside a slight decrease in population, from 729 in 2013 to 560 in 2022.
The correlation between the increasing median income and the maintenance of a predominantly white population might indicate an influx of higher-income white residents, improved economic opportunities for existing residents, or potential gentrification.
The trend of increasing median income aligns with national economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The persistent lack of diversity in this area contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many communities. The population decrease, despite economic growth, might reflect broader trends of rural depopulation or changing preferences for urban living among younger generations.
Cascade-Chipita Park has seen significant economic growth over the past decade, while its demographic composition has remained relatively stable, maintaining its status as a low-diversity, predominantly white community. The economic improvements have not led to increased racial diversity, which could be due to various factors including the area's rural nature, housing policies, or local cultural factors.
