The Kellogg School neighborhood in Wichita, Kansas, currently exhibits a "White Majority" demographic composition, with 54% of the population identifying as white in 2022. The neighborhood is approaching a "Majority-Minority" status, as minority groups collectively comprise 46% of the population. The area has experienced significant fluctuations in median income over the past decade, with recent years showing a notable increase. Kellogg School's proximity to Wichita State University likely influences its demographic makeup and economic trends.
Over the past decade, Kellogg School has maintained its "White Majority" status, but with a trend towards increased diversity. In 2013, the white population constituted 54% of the total, and this percentage has remained relatively stable through 2022. The neighborhood has been steadily moving towards a "Majority-Minority" classification. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant increase, from 25% in 2013 to 29% in 2022, indicating a "Transitional Community" trend. The black population has decreased from 14% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The "two or more races" category has grown from 3% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, peaking at 10% in 2019.
The neighborhood's economic landscape has undergone significant changes. Median income dropped from $31,948 in 2014 to $23,076 in 2017, indicating economic stress during this period. Since 2020, there has been a dramatic increase in median income, rising from $23,825 in 2019 to $40,041 in 2022, a 68% increase over three years. Despite income improvements, the population has decreased from 3,724 in 2013 to 2,984 in 2022, a 20% reduction.
Kellogg School's demographic trends align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban areas. The growing Hispanic population reflects the nationwide trend of Hispanic population growth. The neighborhood's recent income increase outpaces national averages, which have seen more modest growth.
The population decline, despite rising incomes, could be related to factors such as housing market changes, urban development policies, or shifts in student populations associated with nearby Wichita State University.
Kellogg School is a neighborhood in transition, moving from a "White Majority" towards a more diverse community composition. The economic recovery since 2020 is notable, but the continued population decline suggests complex underlying factors affecting the neighborhood's development. These trends warrant further investigation into local economic drivers, housing policies, and community development initiatives to understand the neighborhood's evolving character and future trajectory.
