Schertz, Texas, a city with 46,053 residents in 2022, demonstrates demographic changes over the past decade. The city currently exhibits moderate diversity with a white population of 47% and a Hispanic population of 34%. The median household income in 2022 was $92,651.
Schertz transitioned from a white majority community to one of moderate diversity between 2013 and 2022. The white population decreased from 59% to 47%, while the Hispanic population increased from 28% to 34%. The Black population grew from 7% to 11% during this period.
The city can be classified as a transitional community, with consistent increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations over the past decade. The median household income rose from $82,458 in 2013 to $92,651 in 2022, an increase of 12.4%. The population grew by 34.7%, from 34,200 in 2013 to 46,053 in 2022.
The trends observed in Schertz align with patterns seen in many American suburbs, particularly those near major metropolitan areas. The increasing diversity and steady economic growth are characteristics of growing suburban communities that attract long-time residents and newcomers from various backgrounds.
Based on observed trends, Schertz is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. The city may transition from moderate diversity to high diversity within the next decade. The Hispanic population may continue to grow, potentially approaching or surpassing the white population, which could lead to a Hispanic plurality scenario.
Economically, the steady growth in median income suggests continued prosperity, though the slight dip in 2022 should be monitored. The continued population growth, if sustained, may impact local infrastructure and housing, potentially influencing future economic dynamics.
Schertz exemplifies a transitional community that has evolved from a predominantly white suburb to a more diverse, growing city with a strong economic base. The next decade will likely see further diversification and potential challenges in managing rapid growth while maintaining economic prosperity.
