The Meadow Ridge/Harvest Run neighborhood in Carrollton, Texas, currently exhibits a White Majority demographic composition, with a median household income of $117,501 as of 2022. This suburban community has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade, transitioning from a more diverse composition to a more homogeneous one. The neighborhood is known for its parks and green spaces.
In 2013, the neighborhood displayed Moderate Diversity, with representation from White (46%), Hispanic (28%), and Asian (16%) populations. Over the years, there has been a transition towards a White Majority. By 2022, the White population increased to 58%, while the Hispanic population decreased to 20%, and the Asian population declined to 9%. This shift suggests a trend of demographic consolidation rather than diversification.
The community has not experienced High Diversity throughout the observed period, as no more than two racial groups consistently maintained significant representation (over 10%) simultaneously. The Black population has remained relatively stable, between 5-9% throughout most of the decade.
The demographic shifts correlate with an increase in median household income. In 2013, the median income was $95,093, and by 2022, it had risen to $117,501, representing a 23.6% increase over nine years. This economic growth coincides with the increasing White Majority, suggesting a potential relationship between racial composition changes and economic prosperity in the area.
The population has shown a slight decline from 5,096 in 2013 to 4,649 in 2022, despite the rising income levels. This could indicate a trend towards smaller, more affluent households or a preference for larger living spaces per capita.
The trend observed in Meadow Ridge/Harvest Run contrasts with national trends, which generally show increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many U.S. suburbs have been experiencing a Transitional Community phase, with growing Hispanic and Asian populations. However, this neighborhood appears to be consolidating its White Majority status.
The income growth in this neighborhood outpaces the national average, which saw median household income rise by about 10-15% over a similar period. This suggests that Meadow Ridge/Harvest Run is becoming increasingly affluent relative to national standards, potentially attracting a more homogeneous, high-income demographic.
The Meadow Ridge/Harvest Run neighborhood has evolved from a Moderately Diverse community to a more affluent White Majority area over the past decade. This transformation has been accompanied by economic growth, though with a slight population decline. These trends indicate a shift towards a high-income suburban enclave, potentially influencing local dynamics such as housing prices, school funding, and community services.
