From 2013 to 2022, Devon Valley has maintained a "White Majority" status, with fluctuations in diversity. The neighborhood started with a "Moderate Diversity" profile in 2013-2014, transitioned towards "Low Diversity" in 2015-2017 as the White population increased to over 70%, and solidified its "Low Diversity" status from 2018-2022 with the White population consistently above 88%. There is a slight trend towards increased diversity in recent years, with small but growing Asian and Black populations.
The median income in Devon Valley has shown a general upward trend, correlating with the shift towards a more homogeneous racial composition. From 2013-2020, there was a steady increase in median income from $60,446 to $104,166. In 2021, there was a drop to $44,755, followed by a recovery to $81,174 in 2022. The overall increase in median income aligns with the demographic shift towards a more homogeneous, predominantly White population.
The trends observed in Devon Valley reflect patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States. The shift from moderate diversity to low diversity, coupled with rising incomes, is indicative of gentrification processes observed in many growing metropolitan areas. The significant drop in median income in 2021 followed by a partial recovery in 2022 mirrors the national economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery efforts.
The steady increase in population from 341 in 2010 to 453 in 2022 suggests that Devon Valley is part of the broader trend of urban population growth seen in many U.S. cities over the past decade. These trends in Devon Valley provide a microcosm of larger demographic and economic shifts occurring in many urban neighborhoods across the United States, reflecting the interplay between racial composition, economic factors, and urban development.
