Manito-Cannon Hill, a neighborhood in Spokane, Washington, is characterized by a predominantly White population and high median income levels. According to 2022 data, the area is classified as "Low Diversity," with 85% of the population identifying as White. The neighborhood has experienced steady population growth and significant income increases over the past decade, indicating its attractiveness to affluent residents. Manito-Cannon Hill is noted for its historic homes and Manito Park, which likely contribute to its high property values.
From 2013 to 2022, Manito-Cannon Hill has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category. However, subtle shifts have occurred. The White population decreased slightly from 90% in 2013 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population showed the most significant increase, from 3% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The Asian population doubled from 1% to 2%, though remaining a small percentage. The "Two or More Races" category fluctuated, peaking at 5% in 2019-2020 before declining to 2% in 2022. These changes indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Manito-Cannon Hill has shown a strong upward trend. In 2013, the median income was $85,211. By 2022, it had increased to $102,549, representing a 20% growth over nine years. The most significant increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, with median income rising from $102,193 to $115,469, before slightly decreasing in 2022. This economic growth correlates with the demographic shifts. The increase in Hispanic population coincides with the rise in median income, suggesting that incoming Hispanic residents may be relatively affluent. The slight decrease in the White population percentage, coupled with rising incomes, might indicate gentrification or the arrival of high-income professionals from diverse backgrounds.
The median household income in Manito-Cannon Hill ($102,549 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The neighborhood's racial composition is less diverse than national averages. As of 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the White alone, not Hispanic or Latino population was about 59.3% nationally, compared to 85% in Manito-Cannon Hill. The gradual increase in diversity, albeit slow, aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in urban and suburban areas.
Manito-Cannon Hill remains a predominantly White, affluent neighborhood, but shows signs of slow diversification. The economic prosperity of the area, coupled with its increasing appeal to Hispanic and other minority groups, suggests a potential for more significant demographic changes in the future. However, the high and rising median income could also act as a barrier to rapid diversification, potentially limiting access to lower-income families from various racial backgrounds.
