The zip code 95722 in Meadow Vista, California, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The current demographic composition shows 82% of the population identifying as white, with a median income of $93,694. This affluent community has experienced subtle demographic changes over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Meadow Vista has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity." However, there are indications of a gradual transition towards increased diversity. The white population has decreased from 88% in 2013 to 82% in 2022. The Hispanic population has grown from 5% to 9% over this period. The Asian population has increased from 0% to 2%. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has risen from 1% to 4%.
These changes suggest that Meadow Vista may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community," albeit at a slow pace. The area is not yet close to reaching "Moderate Diversity," but the trend is moving in that direction.
The demographic shifts correlate with significant economic changes. Median income has risen from $71,965 in 2013 to $93,694 in 2022, an increase of about 30%. The population has grown from 4,320 in 2013 to 4,742 in 2022, an increase of about 9.8%. The rising median income suggests that the area is becoming increasingly affluent, which may be attracting a more diverse population of high-income earners from various backgrounds.
The trend of increasing diversity, albeit slow, aligns with broader national trends of diversification in suburban and rural areas. The substantial increase in median income outpaces national averages, suggesting that Meadow Vista is becoming relatively more affluent compared to other areas. The persistence of a strong white majority (82%) is higher than the national average, indicating that this area is diversifying more slowly than many other parts of the country.
Meadow Vista (95722) remains a predominantly white, affluent area with low diversity. However, subtle demographic shifts and significant income growth over the past decade suggest it may be in the early stages of a transition towards greater diversity. This change is likely driven by and contributing to the area's increasing economic prosperity.
