The area has 696 residents and a median income of $161,386, indicating an affluent community. The white population has consistently comprised over 75% of the total population over the past decade. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant increase, growing from 4% in 2013 to 16% in 2022.

There has been no significant representation of Black or Native American residents throughout the decade.
The median income has fluctuated significantly, ranging from $128,354 in 2019 to $189,874 in 2020. There has been a general upward trend in median income since 2019, with 2022 showing a figure of $161,386. The gradual increase in Hispanic population coincides with periods of both income growth and decline, suggesting no direct correlation between demographic changes and economic trends in this community.
The population has fluctuated between 693 and 891 residents over the decade, with no clear long-term growth or decline trend. This stability in population size, coupled with the gradual increase in diversity, indicates a slow but steady change in the community's composition.
The median income in Montara is significantly higher than the national average, placing it among the more affluent communities in the United States. While the area remains predominantly white, the gradual increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, particularly in suburban and rural areas near major metropolitan regions. The combination of high income, low population density, and low diversity suggests this might be an exclusive community that has historically been less accessible to diverse populations.
Montara remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but subtle demographic shifts, particularly in the Hispanic population, hint at a gradual transition. The area's high and volatile median income, coupled with its stable but small population, indicates an exclusive community potentially facing slow but steady diversification. These changes, while gradual, may have long-term implications for local culture, services, and community dynamics.
