Zip code 92657 in Newport Beach, California, is categorized as a "White Majority" community with a significant Asian minority as of 2022. The area is characterized by extremely high median incomes, placing it among the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States. Despite its "White Majority" status, the community shows signs of increasing diversity over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, the zip code has consistently maintained its "White Majority" status, with the white population comprising over 50% of residents throughout this period. However, there is a clear trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 74% in 2013 to 64% in 2022, indicating a gradual shift away from "Low Diversity" towards "Moderate Diversity." The Asian population increased significantly, from 14% in 2013 to 22% in 2022, becoming the largest minority group. The Hispanic population, while fluctuating, showed overall growth from 3% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The community has begun to show very small representations of Black and Native American populations by 2022, which were not present or not recorded in earlier years.
The zip code's median income has remained exceptionally high throughout the observed period, with some fluctuations. Median income peaked in 2017 at $187,813 and has slightly decreased since then, reaching $176,895 in 2022. Despite this recent decline, the overall trend shows a slight increase from $181,321 in 2013 to $176,895 in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 9,000 and 10,000 residents.
The consistently high median income suggests that the increasing diversity is not linked to significant changes in the area's economic status. Instead, it may indicate a gradual integration of high-income individuals from diverse backgrounds into this affluent community.
The median income in this zip code is significantly higher than the national average, which was around $70,000 in 2021. The increasing Asian population aligns with broader trends in California, particularly in affluent areas. The gradual increase in diversity, while maintaining high income levels, suggests that this area is experiencing "positive gentrification," where incoming diverse populations are of similar or higher economic status.
Zip code 92657 in Newport Beach is a "White Majority," high-income area that is gradually transitioning towards greater diversity. This transition is occurring without significant changes to the area's overall economic status, suggesting a unique form of demographic evolution where increasing diversity is not linked to economic shifts typically seen in many urban areas.
