Madera Parc has experienced a rapid shift from a predominantly white community to one with increasing racial diversity over the past decade.
In 2013, Madera Parc was classified as having "Low Diversity" with a "White Majority" (79% white).

As the racial composition diversified, the median income showed fluctuation but remained relatively stable. The median income peaked in 2018 at $99,424 before declining to $81,128 in 2022. This decline coincides with the period of most rapid diversification. The population of Madera Parc has remained relatively stable over the decade, ranging from 1,700 to 2,000 residents.
The trends observed in Madera Parc align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many suburbs across the United States have experienced similar transitions from predominantly white communities to more diverse neighborhoods over the past few decades. This shift often reflects changing preferences among minority populations for suburban living and increasing economic mobility among these groups.
The economic stability of Madera Parc during this transition is noteworthy. While there has been some decline in median income, the neighborhood has maintained a relatively high income level compared to national averages. This suggests that the incoming diverse population is likely composed of middle to upper-middle-class families, potentially indicating a trend of minority economic advancement in the region.
Madera Parc exemplifies a "Transitional Community" that has evolved from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" over the past decade. This transition has been marked by a significant decrease in the white population and increases in Hispanic, Black, and Asian residents. While these demographic shifts have been accompanied by some economic fluctuations, the neighborhood has maintained a relatively high median income, suggesting a complex interplay between racial diversity and economic status.
