Chino Hills, California, as of 2022, is classified as a "Majority-Minority" community with "High Diversity." The Asian population constitutes a plurality at 42%, followed by the Hispanic population at 38%. The city's median household income of $105,978 in 2022 indicates a relatively affluent community.
From 2016 to 2022, Chino Hills experienced a significant demographic transition. In 2016, the city exhibited "Moderate Diversity" with a fairly even distribution among Asian (33%), Hispanic (31%), and White (31%) populations. By 2022, the community had shifted to "High Diversity" with a "Majority-Minority" status. The Asian population increased to 42%, while the Hispanic population grew to 38%. The White population decreased from 31% to 15%.
The demographic shifts correlate with a general upward trend in median household income. From $99,324 in 2016, the median income rose to $105,978 in 2022, with a peak of $113,811 in 2021. The population has remained relatively stable, growing from 78,821 in 2016 to 77,923 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between.
Chino Hills' demographic shift aligns with broader trends seen in many California suburbs, where Asian and Hispanic populations have been growing rapidly. The high median income also reflects California's overall higher cost of living and concentration of high-paying jobs, particularly in technology and professional sectors.
Based on the observed trends, Chino Hills is likely to continue its trajectory as a "High Diversity" and "Majority-Minority" community. The Asian population may soon reach or exceed 50%, potentially transitioning the city to an "Asian Majority" classification. However, the strong growth in the Hispanic population could maintain the "High Diversity" status.
Economically, the upward trend in median income is likely to continue, albeit possibly at a slower rate due to broader economic factors. This could further cement Chino Hills' status as an affluent, diverse suburb.
The city may also be approaching a "Transitional Community" status if the rapid changes in racial makeup continue, particularly if the White population continues to decrease while Asian and Hispanic populations grow. This transition could bring both opportunities and challenges.
Chino Hills presents an example of rapid demographic change in a relatively affluent California suburb, reflecting broader trends of increasing diversity and shifting economic landscapes in similar communities across the state and nation.
