East Quincy Highlands in Aurora, Colorado, exhibits a distinct demographic profile as of 2022. The neighborhood has a population of 8,332 and a median income of $127,093. It is classified as a "White Majority" area, with 60% of residents identifying as white. The community demonstrates a degree of diversity that distinguishes it from many suburban areas. East Quincy Highlands has experienced significant population growth over the past decade, nearly doubling in size from 2013 to 2022.
East Quincy Highlands has maintained its "White Majority" status throughout the decade, with notable demographic shifts. In 2013, it was categorized as a "Low Diversity" area with 63% white population. Over time, it transitioned to a "Moderate Diversity" classification, particularly from 2017 to 2022. This change is evidenced by increased representation of Asian and Hispanic populations, as well as a significant rise in residents identifying as two or more races.
The Asian population increased from 4% in 2013 to 10% in 2022, while the Hispanic population remained relatively stable around 10-13%. The "two or more races" category saw a dramatic increase from 1% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, indicating a trend towards a more multiracial community. These shifts suggest that East Quincy Highlands is evolving into a more diverse suburb, potentially reflecting changing migration patterns or broader demographic trends in the Aurora area.
The increasing diversity has coincided with rising median incomes. From 2013 to 2022, the median income grew from $116,424 to $127,093, an increase of about 9%. This trend suggests that the neighborhood has remained economically attractive while becoming more diverse, possibly indicating that it's drawing in affluent residents from various racial backgrounds. The population growth from 4,309 in 2013 to 8,332 in 2022 is noteworthy. This rapid expansion could be attributed to new housing developments or the area becoming increasingly desirable for families and professionals seeking suburban living with proximity to urban amenities.
The trends in East Quincy Highlands align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many U.S. suburbs have been experiencing demographic shifts, with growing Asian and Hispanic populations and an increase in multiracial residents. The economic stability and growth in this neighborhood set it apart from some suburbs that have faced economic challenges alongside demographic changes. The substantial population growth in East Quincy Highlands is notable compared to national trends. While many suburban areas have seen modest growth or decline, this neighborhood's population doubling in a decade suggests it's part of a rapidly developing or redeveloping area within Aurora.
East Quincy Highlands represents an evolving suburban landscape, maintaining its white majority status while steadily becoming more diverse. The combination of increasing racial diversity, rising incomes, and rapid population growth indicates a dynamic, economically robust community that's attracting a wide range of residents. This trend could potentially lead to further diversification and community development in the coming years, possibly transitioning the neighborhood towards a "High Diversity" classification in the near future.
