Over the past decade, Mesa Mobile Home Estates III has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" community to a "Moderate Diversity" one with a persistent "White Majority." In 2013, the neighborhood was characterized by "Low Diversity" with whites comprising 75% of the population. By 2022, while still maintaining a "White Majority," the community has seen an increase in diversity. The Hispanic population grew from 18% in 2013 to 20% in 2022. The Black population increased from 3% to 8% during the same period. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1-5%.
The demographic shifts correlate with changes in median income. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $30,701 to $36,302, an 18.2% rise. The neighborhood's income levels remain below national averages. The population has remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations. The gradual increase in diversity coincides with a modest rise in median income, which could suggest that the influx of diverse populations has not dramatically altered the economic landscape of the neighborhood.
The demographic shifts observed in Mesa Mobile Home Estates III reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and exurban areas. However, the rate of change appears to be slower than in many other parts of the country, particularly in terms of economic growth. The stability of the population size is noteworthy, as many mobile home communities across the U.S. have faced pressures from development and gentrification, often leading to displacement of residents.
The modest income growth, while positive, lags behind national averages for wage increases over the same period. This suggests that while the neighborhood is becoming more diverse, it may not be experiencing the economic benefits often associated with increased diversity in urban areas.
Mesa Mobile Home Estates III represents a community in transition, slowly moving towards greater diversity while maintaining its working-class character. The gradual nature of these changes may indicate a more organic integration process, potentially allowing for community cohesion to develop alongside increasing diversity. However, the persistent low income levels highlight the ongoing economic challenges faced by residents, regardless of racial background.
