The neighborhood's strong Hispanic majority is characteristic of many areas in San Antonio and Texas border regions but is more pronounced than the overall demographics of San Antonio, which is about 64% Hispanic. The economic growth may be linked to broader trends in San Antonio's economy, which has been strong in recent years, particularly in sectors related to healthcare, technology, and services.
Northmoor represents a stable, predominantly Hispanic community that has experienced significant economic improvement over the past decade. While it remains a Low Diversity area, there are subtle signs of increasing diversity.
