McGlincy, a neighborhood in Campbell, California, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Moderate Diversity" as of 2022. The community's racial composition consists of 57% White, 20% Hispanic, and 15% Asian populations. The neighborhood's median income reached $100,001 in 2022, indicating economic prosperity. McGlincy's proximity to Campbell Union High School contributes to its appeal for families and its diverse demographic makeup.
Over the past decade, McGlincy has experienced a transition in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood was categorized as having a "White Majority" with 71% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, this shifted to a "Moderate Diversity" classification, with the white population decreasing to 57% and increases in Asian and Hispanic populations. This trend suggests a movement towards greater diversity, potentially driven by economic opportunities and the Bay Area's multicultural appeal.
The Hispanic population in McGlincy fluctuated between 13% and 24% over the years, settling at 20% in 2022. The Asian population showed an upward trend, increasing from 12% in 2013 to 15% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew significantly from 2% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, indicating an increase in multiracial families or individuals and further contributing to the neighborhood's diversity.
The demographic shifts in McGlincy coincide with economic changes. The median income increased from $86,210 in 2013 to $100,001 in 2022, a 16% rise. This economic growth likely attracted a more diverse population, particularly skilled workers in various sectors, contributing to the increase in Asian and multiracial demographics. The population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 1,300 and 1,600 residents over the decade, suggesting that demographic changes are more likely due to turnover in the existing housing stock rather than significant new development.
The trends observed in McGlincy align with broader patterns seen in many parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. The region has been experiencing increased diversity, particularly with growth in Asian and Hispanic populations, often driven by the tech industry and associated economic opportunities. The substantial increase in median income is also characteristic of many Bay Area communities, reflecting the region's robust economy and high-paying job market. McGlincy's relatively stable population size distinguishes it from some rapidly growing Bay Area neighborhoods. This stability, combined with increasing diversity and rising incomes, suggests a gradual but significant transformation of the existing community rather than rapid expansion or gentrification seen in some other areas.
McGlincy exemplifies a "Transitional Community" as defined in demographic terminology. It has evolved from a predominantly white neighborhood to one of moderate diversity, with economic growth likely playing a significant role in attracting a more diverse population. This transition reflects broader regional trends while maintaining its distinct character as a stable, increasingly prosperous, and diversifying community within Campbell.
