The increase in diversity, especially the growth of Asian and Hispanic populations, reflects statewide demographic shifts. The neighborhood maintained a relatively high median income during this demographic transition.
The economic stability of the neighborhood during this demographic shift may be indicative of San Mateo's strong job market, particularly in the tech sector, which tends to attract a diverse, high-skilled workforce.
Twenty-Fifth Ave exemplifies a "Transitional Community," evolving from a predominantly white neighborhood to one of moderate diversity while maintaining its economic strength. This transition reflects broader trends of increasing diversity in California's urban areas but stands out for its economic stability throughout the process.
