The Cimmeron neighborhood in San Bernardino, California, has undergone significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. As of 2022, Cimmeron is classified as a Hispanic Majority community with a median income of $88,351. The neighborhood transitioned from a moderately diverse area to one dominated by a Hispanic majority over the past decade. Cimmeron has maintained a relatively high median income compared to other predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods in California.
The demographic shift in Cimmeron is characterized by an increase in the Hispanic population from 60% in 2013 to 80% in 2022. This change primarily occurred at the expense of the white population, which decreased from 25% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. Other racial groups remained relatively stable during this period. The transition to a Hispanic Majority community may be attributed to factors such as immigration patterns, higher birth rates among Hispanic families, or the movement of Hispanic families from other areas seeking economic opportunities.
The shift towards a Hispanic Majority coincided with an increase in median income from $70,257 in 2013 to $88,351 in 2022, representing a 26% increase over nine years. The population of Cimmeron also grew from 2,638 in 2013 to 3,748 in 2022, a 42% increase. These trends suggest that the neighborhood has become increasingly attractive to Hispanic families, possibly due to job opportunities, housing affordability, or community networks.
The demographic shift in Cimmeron reflects broader trends in California and the United States, where the Hispanic population has been growing rapidly. However, Cimmeron's economic trajectory is somewhat unique. Many areas experiencing rapid Hispanic population growth often see stagnant or declining median incomes, but Cimmeron has not followed this pattern.
Cimmeron's median income of $88,351 in 2022 is above the California state average of approximately $84,907. This suggests that Cimmeron may be attracting more affluent Hispanic families or experiencing overall economic growth that benefits all residents.
In conclusion, Cimmeron has transitioned from a moderately diverse, majority-minority community to a strong Hispanic Majority neighborhood over the past decade. This demographic shift has been accompanied by economic improvements, including rising incomes and population growth. These trends indicate a dynamic, evolving community that may be increasingly attractive to middle-class Hispanic families seeking economic opportunities and a strong cultural community.
