Over the past decade, Winnetka Heights has maintained its status as a "Racial Majority" neighborhood, with the Hispanic population remaining dominant. The Hispanic population has decreased slightly from 80% in 2013 to 76% in 2022. The Black population has increased from 10% in 2013 to 15% in 2022. The White population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 6-9% over the decade. By 2022, small Asian (1%) and multiracial (1%) populations emerged.
The demographic shifts correlate with changes in median income. The median income has increased from $38,468 in 2013 to $49,848 in 2022, representing a 29.6% increase over the decade. There were fluctuations in income, with a peak of $53,838 in 2021 before a slight decline in 2022. The population grew from 61,197 in 2013 to 63,513 in 2022, a 3.8% increase.
The slight decrease in the Hispanic population percentage, despite overall population growth, aligns with national trends of Hispanic population dispersion from traditional urban centers. The 29.6% income growth over the decade outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, suggesting real economic gains for the neighborhood. The gradual increase in diversity reflects broader trends of increasing diversity in urban areas across the United States.
Winnetka Heights presents a picture of a stable Hispanic-majority neighborhood experiencing gradual diversification and significant economic improvement. These changes suggest a community in transition, balancing its established cultural identity with emerging demographic and economic shifts, within the context of its unique historic architectural setting.
