The Camelot Community in Garland, Texas exhibits demographic changes characteristic of evolving suburban areas. As of 2022, the neighborhood is classified as having "Moderate Diversity," with Asian and White populations each comprising 29% of residents, followed by Black residents at 25%. The median income in 2022 was $58,521, indicative of a middle-class neighborhood.
Over the past decade, the Camelot Community has undergone significant demographic shifts. In 2013, the area had "Moderate Diversity" with a White plurality of 36%. By 2018, it transitioned to "High Diversity," with Asian (38%), Black (22%), White (21%), and Hispanic (16%) populations all substantially represented. The 2022 data shows a return to "Moderate Diversity," with Asian and White populations equal as the largest groups.
The community's median income has fluctuated considerably over the past decade. From $49,400 in 2013, it reached a peak of $75,422 in 2016, coinciding with increased Hispanic population and a more balanced racial distribution. This period of higher income corresponded with the shift towards "High Diversity." However, the median income subsequently declined to $57,389 in 2018, rose to $75,093 in 2020, and then decreased to $58,521 in 2022.
The demographic changes in the Camelot Community align with broader trends observed in many U.S. suburban areas, particularly those with growing technology sectors. The increasing Asian population is consistent with national patterns of Asian Americans relocating to suburban areas, often driven by opportunities in technology and professional services.
The significant fluctuations in median income, while not uncommon in rapidly changing suburban communities, suggest that the Camelot Community may be particularly sensitive to economic shifts. This sensitivity could be due to its diverse workforce participating in various economic sectors.
The community's transition through different diversity categories over the years indicates a dynamic neighborhood. This pattern of change is often associated with areas experiencing significant economic development or repositioning within a metropolitan area. The relatively stable population size despite these changes suggests a degree of resilience and continued attractiveness to various demographic groups.
The Camelot Community exemplifies a transitional suburban neighborhood, navigating the complexities of increasing diversity and economic fluctuations. Its ability to maintain a balance among multiple racial groups while experiencing significant income changes presents both challenges and opportunities for community cohesion and economic development in the future.
