Chandler transitioned from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" community during this period. In 2022, the racial composition showed 53% white, 21% Hispanic, and 13% Asian populations.
The white population decreased from 59% in 2013 to 53% in 2022. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable between 18% and 26%. The Asian population grew from 9% in 2013 to 13% in 2022. These changes indicate a trend towards increased diversity in Chandler.

This economic growth coincided with the city's increasing diversity, suggesting a possible correlation between demographic diversification and economic prosperity.
Chandler's growth in diversity and economic prosperity aligns with trends seen in many growing suburban areas near major metropolitan centers. The increase in the Asian population mirrors trends in many tech-oriented communities across the United States.
Based on observed trends, Chandler is likely to become a "High Diversity" community in the future. Projections suggest the white population may fall below 50%, the Asian population may reach or exceed 15%, and the Hispanic population may remain stable or experience slight growth. The Black and multiracial populations may also increase.
If the upward trend in median income continues, Chandler could see median incomes surpassing $100,000 in the coming years. These demographic shifts and economic growth may position Chandler as an attractive destination for diverse, high-skilled professionals.
The evolution towards a "High Diversity" community may bring opportunities such as increased cultural vibrancy and economic innovation. It may also present challenges including potential housing affordability issues and the need for more inclusive community planning.
