Zip code 85735 in Tucson Estates, Arizona, is categorized as a "Majority-Minority" community with "Moderate Diversity" as of 2022. The Hispanic population comprises 54% of residents, while the White population represents 40%. The area has a median income of $55,030 and a population of 13,474.
From 2013 to 2022, Tucson Estates underwent a demographic transition. In 2013, the community had "Moderate Diversity" with a near-even split between Hispanic (46%) and White (45%) populations. By 2022, it evolved into a "Majority-Minority" community, with the Hispanic population becoming the plurality.
The Hispanic population increased from 46% in 2013 to 54% in 2022, while the White population decreased from 45% to 40%. This trend suggests a "Transitional Community" status. The Native American population increased from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
The demographic shifts occurred alongside fluctuations in median income. In 2013, the median income was $63,909. It decreased to $50,884 in 2018, then increased to $65,532 in 2021 before dropping to $55,030 in 2022. These economic fluctuations do not directly correlate with the demographic shifts.
Population figures remained relatively stable over the decade, ranging from about 12,700 to 13,500. This suggests that demographic shifts are likely due to natural population changes or localized migration patterns rather than large-scale population movements.
The trends observed in Tucson Estates align with broader patterns seen in the American Southwest. The increasing Hispanic population is consistent with demographic shifts in many areas of Arizona and neighboring states.
The economic fluctuations may reflect broader economic trends such as the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recovery. The recent drop in 2022 could be related to more recent economic challenges, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tucson Estates presents an example of a "Transitional Community" moving towards a stronger "Majority-Minority" status, with increasing Hispanic representation. While economic indicators have fluctuated, they do not appear to have significantly altered the demographic trajectory of the area.
