Charleston Commons, a neighborhood in Garland, Texas, exhibited a Moderate Diversity profile based on its 2022 racial composition. The neighborhood had a population of 1,516 and a median income of $75,093, indicating a relatively affluent area within Garland. Charleston Commons had a significant Asian population, which was somewhat unique for a Texas suburb outside of major metropolitan areas.
Over the past decade, Charleston Commons underwent notable demographic transitions. In 2013, the neighborhood displayed characteristics of High Diversity, with Asian (38%), White (31%), and Hispanic (16%) populations each having significant representation. By 2022, the area had shifted to a Moderate Diversity profile. The Asian population remained prominent (31%), but there was a more even distribution among White (23%), Hispanic (21%), and Black (13%) residents.
The Asian population fluctuated significantly, peaking at 45% in 2019 before settling at 31% in 2022. This suggests a Transitional Community aspect, with the neighborhood experiencing waves of demographic change.
The median income in Charleston Commons showed an upward trend, rising from $51,227 in 2013 to $75,093 in 2022, an increase of nearly 47%. This income growth correlated with the shifting demographic composition, particularly the sustained presence of a significant Asian population. The population grew moderately, from 1,220 in 2013 to 1,516 in 2022, suggesting the neighborhood has become increasingly desirable.
The demographic shifts in Charleston Commons reflected broader trends seen in many suburban areas of major Texas cities. The increasing diversity, particularly the growth in Asian and Hispanic populations, aligned with statewide demographic changes. The neighborhood's high median income ($75,093 in 2022) was above the Texas median household income of $67,321 (as of 2021), indicating that Charleston Commons was a relatively affluent area within the state.
The neighborhood's transition from High Diversity to Moderate Diversity, with a consistently strong Asian presence, suggested that while it was becoming more economically homogeneous, it maintained a level of racial and ethnic diversity characteristic of evolving suburban landscapes in Texas and other parts of the Sun Belt.
Charleston Commons represented a microcosm of the changing face of suburban Texas – economically prosperous, increasingly diverse, yet with distinct demographic patterns that set it apart from both traditional suburbia and urban centers. The neighborhood's evolution over the past decade reflected broader societal shifts towards multiculturalism and economic stratification in American suburbs.
