However, unlike some areas where increased diversity has led to economic changes, this neighborhood has maintained its high-income status.
The steady increase in the Hispanic population reflects wider demographic trends in Colorado and the Southwest. The neighborhood's ability to maintain high median incomes during this transition indicates a selective migration pattern of affluent minorities into the area.
Creekside Eagle Bend exemplifies a "Transitional Community" that has evolved from "Low Diversity" to "White Majority" with moderate diversity over the past decade. This transition has occurred without significant economic disruption, suggesting a well-managed integration of new residents that maintains the neighborhood's desirable status.
