Paradise, Nevada, exhibits a diverse demographic landscape classified as a "Majority-Minority" community as of 2022. No single racial group constitutes a majority, with Hispanic residents forming the largest plurality at 39%, followed by White residents at 32%. The median income is $55,578.
Over the past decade, Paradise has undergone a significant transformation in its racial makeup. In 2013, the community had "Moderate Diversity" with a White plurality (46%) and significant Hispanic representation (33%). By 2022, the area had transitioned into a "Majority-Minority" status, with the Hispanic population growing to 39% while the White population decreased to 32%.
This shift can be attributed to several factors: the Asian population increased from 7% in 2013 to 10% in 2022, the Black population grew from 9% in 2013 to 12% in 2022, and residents identifying as two or more races increased from 4% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. These changes indicate that Paradise has been experiencing a "Transitional Community" phase, moving towards greater diversity over the years.
The median income in Paradise has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $45,201 in 2013 to $55,578 in 2022, representing a 23% growth. This economic improvement coincides with the increasing diversity of the area. The population has decreased from 225,861 in 2013 to 183,321 in 2022, a 19% decline.
The demographic shifts observed in Paradise align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. Many U.S. cities have been transitioning to "Majority-Minority" status over the past decade. The income growth in Paradise outpaces the national average, which saw about a 15% increase in median household income from 2013 to 2022.
Based on observed trends, Paradise is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. The Hispanic population may continue to grow, potentially reaching or exceeding 40% in the coming years. The Asian and multiracial populations are also likely to increase. Economically, if current trends persist, median income could continue to rise, potentially reaching or exceeding $60,000 within the next few years.
Paradise may transition from a "Majority-Minority" community to a "High Diversity" area if current trends continue. This would occur if the Hispanic population growth slows and other minority groups continue to increase, resulting in no single group exceeding 40% of the population and at least three groups having significant representation (over 10% each).
