Quail Valley, a neighborhood in Georgetown, Texas, has experienced significant demographic changes between 2013 and 2022. The area transitioned from a majority-minority community to one of moderate diversity with a white plurality. In 2022, the neighborhood had a population of 7,780 and a median income of $91,427. Quail Valley is notable for its golf course and country club, which serve as focal points for community activities.
The racial composition of Quail Valley underwent substantial shifts during this period. In 2013, Hispanic residents comprised 45% of the population, while whites made up 41%. By 2022, these proportions had changed significantly, with whites representing 50% of the population and Hispanics 33%. The Black population increased from 8% to 10%, and the Asian population grew from 1% to 3%. Additionally, the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races rose from a negligible amount to 5%.
These demographic changes coincided with notable economic trends. The median income in Quail Valley increased from $59,595 in 2013 to $91,427 in 2022, representing a growth of over 53%. This substantial rise in income levels occurred alongside the increase in the white population share and the overall diversification of the community.
The population of Quail Valley fluctuated during this period, growing from 6,574 in 2013 to a peak of 11,163 in 2019, before decreasing to 7,780 in 2022. These population changes, combined with rising incomes, suggest a period of rapid development followed by stabilization, potentially indicating gentrification or increased housing costs influencing the demographic composition.
The trends observed in Quail Valley align with patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States, particularly those near rapidly growing cities. Georgetown's proximity to Austin likely influenced these changes, reflecting the impact of the tech boom and migration patterns affecting central Texas. The increase in median income in Quail Valley outpaced the national average during the same period.
The growth in the multi-racial population and the Asian community reflects national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the decrease in the Hispanic population share contrasts with many national trends, where Hispanic populations in suburbs have generally been growing. Quail Valley exemplifies a transitional suburban community experiencing moderate diversification alongside significant economic growth. These changes likely reflect broader regional economic shifts, changing migration patterns, and evolving preferences for suburban living among diverse, affluent populations.
