East Reno has undergone a demographic transition over the past decade. In 2013, the neighborhood was categorized as having a "White Plurality," with the white population at 47% and Hispanic population at 39%. By 2022, the community had shifted to a "Majority-Minority" status, with the Hispanic population (39%) nearly equal to the white population (44%).
This transition indicates an increase in diversity, with growth in the Asian and multiracial populations. The Asian population increased from 5% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, while those identifying as two or more races doubled from 2% to 4%. This trend suggests East Reno is becoming a "Transitional Community," moving towards greater diversity.
The demographic shifts in East Reno correlate with economic changes. The median income increased from $40,863 in 2013 to $61,581 in 2022, a growth of over 50%. This economic improvement coincides with the increasing diversity of the neighborhood.
The population growth has been modest, increasing from 43,699 in 2013 to 47,806 in 2022. This suggests that the economic improvements may be benefiting existing residents rather than primarily attracting new inhabitants.
The trends observed in East Reno align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban areas. Many U.S. cities have experienced similar transitions to "Majority-Minority" status over the past decade. The increase in median income is notable and may exceed national averages for income growth during this period.
The growth of the Hispanic population in East Reno reflects larger demographic shifts in Nevada and the southwestern United States. The increase in median income suggests that East Reno may be experiencing more robust economic growth compared to some other diversifying communities nationally.
East Reno's evolution over the past decade showcases a community in transition, both demographically and economically. The shift towards greater diversity, coupled with income growth, indicates a neighborhood adapting to changing social and economic landscapes.
