Over the past decade, the neighborhood has undergone significant demographic changes, shifting from a balanced racial composition to its current state.

The neighborhood experienced distinct phases of demographic change. From 2013 to 2016, it displayed "Moderate Diversity" with Hispanic and white populations each comprising approximately 45-50% of residents. Between 2017 and 2019, a transition period began, moving towards "Majority-Minority" status as the Hispanic population gradually increased and the white population decreased. From 2020 to 2022, the area solidified its "Majority-Minority" status with Hispanics becoming the majority at 52-55% and whites decreasing to 40-43%. These changes may be attributed to factors such as immigration patterns, changing birth rates among different ethnic groups, or economic opportunities attracting specific demographics to the area.

The median income in the neighborhood has shown notable fluctuations. From 2013 to 2019, there was a period of relatively stable but low incomes, ranging from $29,176 to $42,671. In 2020 and 2021, there was a sharp increase to $49,979 and $53,315 respectively. However, in 2022, there was a significant decline to $36,723. These economic changes correlate with the demographic shifts. The period of increasing Hispanic population initially coincided with rising incomes, potentially indicating economic opportunities drawing new residents. The recent income decline in 2022 suggests possible economic challenges affecting the newly established majority.
