The Sunrise/Jackson neighborhood in Rancho Cordova, California, has undergone a significant demographic transformation from 2013 to 2022. Initially categorized as a Low Diversity area with a White Majority (82%) in 2013, it has evolved into a Moderate Diversity community by 2022. The white population decreased from 82% to 48%, while Hispanic and Asian populations increased substantially. This shift occurred in three phases: Low Diversity (2013-2016), Transitional Community (2017-2019), and Moderate Diversity (2020-2022).

The demographic changes correlate with economic trends. The median income declined from $111,454 in 2013 to $78,106 in 2022, a decrease of about 30%. Simultaneously, the population grew from 522 in 2013 to 1,067 in 2022, more than doubling in size. These changes suggest that as the neighborhood became more diverse, it also became more accessible to a broader range of income levels.

The demographic shifts in Sunrise/Jackson align with broader trends seen in many California suburbs, where previously homogeneous communities are becoming increasingly diverse. This trend is often associated with changing housing preferences, job market dynamics, and evolving cultural attitudes. However, the economic trajectory of Sunrise/Jackson is somewhat unique, as it has experienced a decrease in median income alongside increased diversity.
