Frisco Heights, a neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas, currently exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile, with a White Majority of 82% as of 2022. The neighborhood has a population of 1,077 residents and a median income of $27,988. Frisco Heights has experienced significant fluctuations in its demographic composition and economic indicators over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Frisco Heights transitioned from a Moderate Diversity community to a Low Diversity one. In 2013, the neighborhood displayed a racial composition with 64% White, 22% Hispanic, and 7% Asian residents. Over the years, the White population increased while other racial groups declined in proportion. The most notable shift occurred between 2017 and 2018, where the White population increased from 74% to 85%, categorizing the neighborhood as Low Diversity.
The Hispanic population experienced the most significant decline, dropping from 22% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The Asian population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2% and 8% over the decade. The demographic shifts in Frisco Heights correlate with changes in median income. In 2013, the median income was $27,092. As the community became less diverse, there was initially a decline in median income, reaching $20,145 in 2017. As the White majority increased, the median income began to recover, reaching $27,988 in 2022.
The population of Frisco Heights has fluctuated over the years, growing from 1,170 in 2013 to 1,355 in 2019, before declining to 1,077 residents in 2022. These population changes may be linked to the demographic and economic shifts, possibly indicating out-migration of minority groups and in-migration of White residents.
The trend towards decreased diversity in Frisco Heights contrasts with broader national trends, where many urban areas are becoming more diverse. This pattern might be influenced by local factors such as housing policies, economic opportunities, or cultural preferences specific to this area of Fort Worth.
The economic recovery in recent years, coinciding with the increased White majority, could suggest a localized gentrification process. The median income, while improved, remains relatively modest compared to national averages.
Frisco Heights presents a case of a neighborhood transitioning from Moderate Diversity to Low Diversity over a decade, accompanied by economic fluctuations. This evolution raises questions about the factors driving these changes and their long-term implications for community cohesion and economic development in the area.
