Over the past decade, The Overlook has consistently maintained its status as a White Majority community, with the white population consistently representing over 50% of residents.

The Overlook's demographic composition, with a White Majority and growing Hispanic population, reflects broader trends in Texas and the Southwest United States, where Hispanic populations have been increasing. The neighborhood's median income remains well above the national median household income, indicating that The Overlook continues to be an affluent area despite recent changes. The decrease in population since 2016 could be related to broader urban trends such as suburban expansion or changes in housing preferences.
While The Overlook has maintained its status as a White Majority, affluent neighborhood over the past decade, subtle shifts in racial composition and recent declines in both population and median income suggest that the area may be experiencing the early stages of demographic and economic transitions. These changes may signal the beginning of a longer-term trend towards increased diversity and potentially a recalibration of the neighborhood's economic profile. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understand the long-term trajectory of The Overlook's demographic and economic landscape.
