Concord Village, located in Mesa, Arizona, presents a demographic landscape as of 2022. With a population of 1,928 and an estimated 739 housing units, this neighborhood is categorized as having "Moderate Diversity". The community is characterized by a white plurality (54%) with a significant Hispanic presence (39%). Economically, the median income of $72,861 in 2022 suggests a middle-class suburban environment. Concord Village is known for its proximity to the Mesa Arizona Temple, a significant landmark for the local Mormon community.
Over the past decade, Concord Village has undergone a transformation in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood was classified as having "Low Diversity" with a "White Majority" (69%). By 2022, the community transitioned to "Moderate Diversity" with a shift towards a more balanced racial makeup.
The most significant change has been the steady increase in the Hispanic population, rising from 20% in 2013 to 39% in 2022. This trend suggests that Concord Village is becoming a "Transitional Community," moving towards greater diversity. The white population, while still the largest group, has decreased from 69% to 54% during this period.
Another notable shift is the emergence of Asian and multiracial residents. In 2013, these groups were not significantly represented, but by 2022, they constituted 3% each of the population, contributing to the increased diversity.
The median income in Concord Village has shown fluctuations over the years, with an overall upward trend. From $67,294 in 2013 to $72,861 in 2022, there's been an 8.3% increase. This growth hasn't been linear, with notable dips in 2015 ($62,687) and 2021 ($63,594).
The periods of lower median income (2014-2015 and 2020-2021) coincide with increases in racial diversity, particularly growth in the Hispanic population. This could suggest that the neighborhood is attracting a more diverse, possibly younger demographic, who might be at earlier stages in their careers.
The population has grown significantly, from 1,528 in 2013 to 1,928 in 2022, a 26% increase. This population growth, coupled with increasing diversity and rising median income, indicates that Concord Village is an attractive area for new residents, possibly due to its affordability compared to other parts of Mesa or the broader Phoenix metropolitan area.
The demographic shifts in Concord Village mirror broader trends seen across Arizona and the United States. The growth in the Hispanic population is consistent with statewide demographic changes, as Arizona has seen a significant increase in its Hispanic population over the past decade.
The economic resilience of Concord Village, maintaining and even increasing its median income despite demographic shifts, is noteworthy. This suggests that the neighborhood has successfully integrated new residents without experiencing economic decline, a challenge faced by many transitional communities across the country.
Concord Village exemplifies a suburban neighborhood in transition, evolving from a predominantly white, middle-class area to a more diverse community while maintaining its economic stability. This transformation reflects broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas and suggests that Concord Village is adapting well to changing demographics, potentially positioning itself as an attractive location for a wide range of residents in the coming years.
