The growth in the Native American population may be specific to this region of Arizona. The rapid income growth in this neighborhood outpaces national averages, suggesting that Flagstaff Brannen Addition may be experiencing more intense economic changes than many other areas of the country.
The transition from a white-majority area to one with a Native American plurality may be related to broader movements of Native Americans from reservations to urban areas, as well as potential initiatives to increase Native American representation in higher education, given the neighborhood's proximity to Northern Arizona University.
Flagstaff Brannen Addition has evolved from a predominantly white, lower-income area to a moderately diverse, higher-income neighborhood with a unique Native American influence. These changes likely reflect both local factors, such as university proximity and regional Native American demographics, as well as broader national trends towards increased urban diversity and economic stratification.
