The demographic shifts in Arvada correlate with substantial economic changes. The median income rose from $49,758 in 2013 to $79,082 in 2022, representing a 59% increase. This economic growth coincided with increasing diversity. The population has also grown steadily, from 2,126 in 2013 to 2,291 in 2022. This growth, coupled with rising incomes and increasing diversity, indicates a neighborhood experiencing positive economic and social development.
Arvada's demographic shifts align with broader trends seen in many suburban areas near major cities. The increase in diversity and income levels is similar to patterns observed in other Denver suburbs, reflecting a wider trend of suburbanization of diversity and wealth. The significant increase in median income (59% over nine years) outpaces the national average, which typically sees slower growth rates.
The neighborhood's transition from low diversity to moderate diversity with a white majority is indicative of changing preferences among diverse populations for suburban living, a trend observed nationally in the past decade. The Black population in Arvada saw fluctuations, peaking at 12% in 2020-2021 before declining to 2% in 2022.
Arvada has transformed from a predominantly white, low-diversity area to a more economically prosperous and moderately diverse community. These changes reflect broader national trends of suburban diversification and economic growth, positioning Arvada as an evolving and dynamic neighborhood within the Colorado landscape.
