The Pelanconi neighborhood in Glendale, California, demonstrates a case of demographic evolution. As of 2022, it is categorized as a "White Majority" community, with 65% of the population identifying as white. The neighborhood has experienced shifts in its racial composition over the past decade, alongside fluctuations in median income. Pelanconi is located near the historic Grand Central Air Terminal.
From 2013 to 2016, Pelanconi transitioned from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" community. The white population decreased from 67% to 48%, while the Hispanic population increased from 16% to 38%. This period marked the neighborhood's most diverse era.
From 2017 onwards, there was a gradual shift back towards a "White Majority". By 2022, the white population had increased to 65%, while the Hispanic population decreased to 19%. The Asian population remained relatively stable, hovering around 10-15% throughout the decade.
The median income in Pelanconi has shown an overall upward trend, with fluctuations. In 2013, the median income was $72,152, rising to a peak of $92,696 in 2019 – a 28.5% increase. However, there was a decrease to $80,644 in 2022. The period of highest diversity (2015-2017) coincided with a sharp increase in median income, from $70,182 in 2015 to $88,276 in 2018.
The population of Pelanconi has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1,625 and 2,122 residents over the decade. The peak population in 2016 aligned with the period of highest diversity and rising incomes.
The demographic shifts in Pelanconi reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States. The return to a "White Majority" status in recent years, coupled with high median incomes, suggests that Pelanconi may be experiencing a form of "white return" or "re-gentrification" observed in some revitalized urban neighborhoods.
The median income in Pelanconi ($80,644 in 2022) is higher than the national median household income (approximately $70,784 in 2021), indicating that this is a relatively affluent neighborhood within the broader context of Glendale and the United States.
Pelanconi has undergone a demographic evolution over the past decade, transitioning from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" community and back again. These changes have been accompanied by economic fluctuations, reflecting the interplay between racial demographics, income levels, and urban development in contemporary American cities.
