The area has experienced gradual diversification over the past decade. The median income in the neighborhood increased from $22,633 in 2013 to $41,382 in 2022. The proximity to North Dakota State University (NDSU) likely influences the neighborhood's demographic and economic characteristics.
The neighborhood has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification from 2013 to 2022. The white population decreased from 87% to 83% during this period. The Black population increased from 2% to 3%, while the Hispanic population grew from 1% to 5%. The Asian population remained between 3-5%. These changes indicate a slow transition towards greater diversity, possibly influenced by NDSU's presence.

The most significant year-over-year increase occurred between 2021 and 2022, with income rising from $35,334 to $41,382.

Population figures have remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 8,377 in 2013 to 9,245 in 2022. This stability, combined with rising incomes, might indicate gentrification or an increase in higher-income students and professionals in the area.
The trends observed in the Roosevelt/NDSU neighborhood align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas and university towns. The significant income growth may reflect North Dakota's strong economic performance in recent years, partly due to its energy sector.
The gradual diversification and strong economic growth suggest that the Roosevelt/NDSU neighborhood is slowly transitioning towards becoming a more diverse and affluent area. While it has not yet reached the threshold to be categorized as a "Transitional Community" or "Moderate Diversity," the consistent trends indicate movement in that direction. The university's influence likely plays a significant role in shaping these demographic and economic shifts.
