The Windsor neighborhood in Orem, Utah, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a white majority of 77% as of 2022. This community has undergone minor demographic changes over the past decade while maintaining a relatively high median income, which reached $92,993 in 2019. Windsor's proximity to Utah Valley University likely influences its demographic and economic characteristics.
From 2013 to 2022, Windsor has remained in the "Low Diversity" category, with the white population dominating throughout this period. The white population has decreased from 81% in 2013 to 77% in 2022. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 10-15% over the decade. There has been an increase in the Asian population, from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has grown from 3% to 5%.
The median income in Windsor has fluctuated over the past decade but has generally remained high. It peaked at $92,993 in 2019, showing an increase from $80,693 in 2014. There was a decrease to $82,357 in 2020, followed by a gradual recovery, with the median income reaching $85,898 in 2022.
These economic trends correlate with the demographic shifts. The increasing Asian population might be associated with high-skilled jobs, potentially contributing to the maintenance of high median incomes. The stability of the Hispanic population could indicate a balance between established families and new arrivals, helping to maintain community economic stability. The slight decrease in the white majority has not significantly impacted median incomes, suggesting that incoming diverse populations are economically similar to the existing residents.
The demographic trends in Windsor align with broader national trends of increasing diversity, albeit at a slower pace than many urban areas. The median income in Windsor remains significantly higher than the national median, indicating a relatively affluent community. The community's resilience during the economic challenges of 2020 suggests a robust local economy, possibly supported by the presence of Utah Valley University and associated industries.
Windsor remains a predominantly white, high-income community, with signs of gradual diversification. This slow transition, coupled with maintained high median incomes, suggests a controlled and economically stable demographic evolution. The community appears to be slowly moving towards greater diversity while maintaining its economic strength, a trend that could continue in the coming years if current patterns persist.
