Spring Valley has experienced a significant transformation in its racial composition over the past decade. In 2013, the area was classified as having a "White Majority" with 49% of the population identifying as White. By 2022, the community had transitioned to a "Moderate Diversity" classification. The White population decreased from 49% in 2013 to 40% in 2022, while the Asian population increased from 19% to 24%. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 17-20% throughout the decade. The Black population increased slightly from 7% in 2013 to 10% in 2022.
The demographic changes have occurred alongside fluctuations in median income. The median income decreased from $80,559 in 2013 to a low of $72,407 in 2016. From 2016 onwards, there has been a general upward trend, reaching $88,533 in 2021 before slightly declining to $82,207 in 2022. The period of increasing diversity coincides with an overall increase in median income, particularly from 2016 onwards.
Population growth has been substantial, increasing from 22,455 in 2013 to 34,806 in 2022, a growth of about 55% over the decade. This rapid population growth likely contributed to the changing demographic landscape and may have influenced economic dynamics.
The trends observed in Spring Valley align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The growth of the Asian population reflects a national trend of Asian Americans moving to suburban areas, often associated with pursuit of educational and economic opportunities. The increase in median income, despite growing diversity, suggests that Spring Valley may be attracting diverse, high-skilled workers.
The community's transition from a "White Majority" to "Moderate Diversity" status over a relatively short period is notable. As the area continues to evolve, maintaining economic growth while fostering inclusive community development will likely be key priorities for local leaders and residents.
