It is classified as a "Majority-Minority" community, with Hispanic residents comprising 50% of the population and White residents 40%. The neighborhood has experienced substantial economic growth, with the median income increasing from $50,257 in 2019 to $94,445 in 2022.
Over the past decade, Emerson Manor has undergone a notable transition in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood was classified as having "Moderate Diversity," with Hispanic (48%) and White (47%) populations nearly equal. By 2016, it had shifted to a "White Majority" (51%). From 2017 onwards, the community began transitioning towards a "Majority-Minority" status, which was established by 2020.
The Hispanic population has shown consistent growth, increasing from 48% in 2013 to 55% in 2020, before decreasing to 50% in 2022. The White population has steadily declined from 47% in 2013 to 40% in 2022. There has been a gradual increase in the Asian population, from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.
The economic trajectory of Emerson Manor shows a significant upswing, particularly from 2019 to 2020. The median income remained relatively stable between 2013 ($48,295) and 2019 ($50,257), but then increased to $94,429 in 2020. This increase coincides with a significant increase in population from 2,439 in 2019 to 3,830 in 2020.
The rapid economic growth correlates with the shift towards a more diverse, "Majority-Minority" community. The influx of new, higher-income residents may have contributed to both the economic boost and the changing racial demographics.
The demographic shifts in Emerson Manor reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States. The neighborhood's transition to a "Majority-Minority" status aligns with national trends, as the U.S. Census Bureau projects that the country will become "Majority-Minority" by 2045.
Emerson Manor presents a case study of demographic and economic transformation. The neighborhood has evolved from a moderately diverse community to a "Majority-Minority" area with increased affluence in a decade. These changes have implications for local culture, housing markets, and community dynamics.
