The neighborhood has experienced economic growth, with the median income increasing from $87,312 in 2013 to $110,116 in 2022.

Over the past decade, the Rose Garden neighborhood has undergone demographic changes. The White population increased slightly from 42% in 2013 to 44% in 2022. The Hispanic population decreased from 39% in 2013 to 31% in 2022. The Asian population showed the most growth, increasing from 12% in 2013 to 18% in 2022.

The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes in the Rose Garden neighborhood. The median income increased by 26% over nine years. The population grew from 25,442 in 2013 to 27,821 in 2018, before declining to 24,943 in 2022. The increasing Asian population coincides with the rise in median income, potentially reflecting an influx of high-skilled workers in the tech industry. The decrease in the Hispanic population percentage, coupled with rising incomes, may indicate gentrification processes or shifting housing affordability.
The demographic and economic trends in the Rose Garden neighborhood align with broader patterns observed in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. The growth in Asian population and rising incomes reflect the trend of Asian tech workers moving into Bay Area neighborhoods. The significant increase in median income is consistent with the tech-driven economic boom in Silicon Valley, which has also led to increased income inequality and housing affordability challenges across the region. The decline in the Hispanic population percentage is a trend seen in many gentrifying neighborhoods across California's urban centers, often attributed to rising living costs. The recent population decrease (2018-2022) aligns with a broader trend of population loss in the Bay Area, partially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of remote work options.
The Rose Garden neighborhood has experienced demographic shifts, reflecting broader regional trends influenced by the tech industry, economic growth, and changing migration patterns. These changes have implications for community dynamics, local businesses, and potentially for future urban planning and housing policies in the area.
