ZIP code 92707 in Santa Ana, California, is a Majority-Minority community with a Hispanic Majority. As of 2022, the area has low diversity, with Hispanic residents comprising 81% of the population. The median income reached $90,389 in 2022, indicating economic improvement in this predominantly Hispanic community.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the ZIP code has maintained its status as a Hispanic Majority area. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 81% and 83% of the total population. This stability suggests a well-established Hispanic community with strong cultural roots.
Despite the consistent Hispanic majority, there have been subtle shifts in other racial groups. The Asian population increased from 6% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, showing gradual growth. The White population decreased from 10% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, indicating a slight decline. Black and Native American populations have remained consistently low at around 1% and 0% respectively.
The median income in ZIP code 92707 has shown a significant upward trend. In 2013, it was $71,849. In 2017, it increased to $74,128 (3.2% increase from 2013). By 2022, it reached $90,389 (25.8% increase from 2013). This substantial income growth suggests improving economic conditions for residents.
The population has remained relatively stable over the period, with minor fluctuations. The 2022 population of 58,161 is very close to the 2013 figure of 58,080, indicating that the community has not experienced significant population growth or decline.
The demographic makeup of ZIP code 92707 reflects broader trends in California, particularly in urban areas, where Hispanic populations have become increasingly dominant. The stability of the Hispanic majority in this area, coupled with rising incomes, suggests a community that has established strong economic roots while maintaining its cultural identity.
The slight increase in Asian population aligns with wider California trends, where Asian communities have been growing in many urban and suburban areas. However, the growth here is more modest compared to some other parts of the state.
ZIP code 92707 presents a picture of a stable, Hispanic Majority community that has experienced significant economic improvement over the past decade. While it remains a low diversity area, subtle shifts in racial composition hint at slow but ongoing demographic changes. The combination of cultural stability and economic growth makes this ZIP code an interesting case study in the evolution of minority-majority communities in urban California.
