The median income in Summerlin South has fluctuated over the decade but overall shows an upward trend. From $105,054 in 2013, it decreased to $98,720 in 2017 before increasing to $106,042 in 2022. This economic resilience and growth coincide with the increasing diversity of the community. The population has grown steadily from 25,603 in 2013 to 29,401 in 2022, a 14.8% increase. This population growth, coupled with the maintained high median income, suggests that the area has remained attractive to new residents while retaining its economic strength.
The demographic shifts observed in Summerlin South align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the community's high median income and continued white majority distinguish it from many rapidly diversifying suburbs across the United States. The area's economic resilience, as evidenced by its consistently high median income even during periods of demographic change, is noteworthy. This suggests that the increasing diversity has not led to economic instability, which is sometimes observed in rapidly changing communities.
Summerlin South presents a picture of gradual, managed diversity increase within an economically stable and affluent community. The area's ability to maintain high income levels while becoming more diverse could make it an interesting case study in successful community transition and integration.
