The Mahogany neighborhood in Mesa, Arizona, exhibits characteristics of Low Diversity with a White Majority. The white population comprises 73% of the total in 2022. The median income of $200,000 in 2022 places this neighborhood in a high-income bracket. Mahogany has experienced significant population growth over the past decade, increasing from 140 residents in 2010 to 281 in 2022.
From 2013 to 2022, Mahogany has consistently maintained a White Majority status. In 2013, the neighborhood showed Moderate Diversity with white (72%) and Hispanic (16%) populations. From 2016 to 2019, the area transitioned to Low Diversity, with the white population reaching 88% at its peak in 2016. Recent years (2020-2022) show a trend towards increased diversity, with the Hispanic population growing from 7% in 2019 to 20% in 2022.
The median income in Mahogany has increased from $125,389 in 2013 to $200,000 in 2022, an increase of nearly 60%. The period of lowest diversity (2016-2019) saw rapid income growth, with median income increasing from $130,133 to $199,768. As diversity began to increase from 2020 onwards, income growth stabilized, maintaining around $200,000.
Mahogany's median income exceeds the national median, which was around $67,521 in 2020, indicating it is an exceptionally affluent area. The recent increase in Hispanic population aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic communities in many urban and suburban areas. The stability of high incomes alongside increasing diversity counters some national trends where increasing diversity often correlates with income changes.
Mahogany presents a case of a high-income, predominantly white neighborhood that is showing signs of increasing diversity while maintaining its economic status. This suggests a potential model for inclusive affluent communities, though further analysis would be needed to understand the full socio-economic implications of these changes.
