Duncan Park, a neighborhood in Englewood, Colorado, exhibits a low diversity demographic profile with a white majority of 81% in 2022. The area has a high median income of $120,677 in 2022, which is above national averages. Duncan Park is known for its green spaces and community-oriented lifestyle, appealing to affluent residents.
Over the past decade, Duncan Park has maintained its status as a low diversity neighborhood with a white majority. The percentage of white residents decreased slightly from 83% in 2013 to 81% in 2022. The Hispanic community showed fluctuations, peaking at 12% in 2013 and 2020, but settling at 10% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 2% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. Despite these changes, the neighborhood has not transitioned to a different diversity category.
The economic landscape of Duncan Park has shown growth, correlating with its demographic stability. The median income increased from $109,206 in 2013 to $120,677 in 2022, representing a 10.5% growth over the decade. Notable peaks in median income occurred in 2021 ($131,453) and 2020 ($124,098). The population has grown from 3,229 in 2013 to 3,495 in 2022, an 8.2% increase. The sustained high median income levels correlate with the neighborhood's consistent white majority status.
Duncan Park's resistance to increased diversification could be attributed to several factors. The high median income and stable population suggest a well-established, affluent community that may have limited housing turnover. The high median income could create economic barriers for more diverse populations to move into the area. Colorado, as a state, has been experiencing increasing diversity, but this trend appears to be less pronounced in affluent suburbs like Duncan Park.
In conclusion, Duncan Park shows signs of incremental diversification, particularly in the growth of multiracial residents, but remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood. The economic stability and growth in the area appear to reinforce its demographic composition, resisting larger national trends towards increased diversity in urban and suburban areas. This stability may present both opportunities and challenges for community development and social integration in the future.
