Patio Villa has undergone demographic shifts over the past decade, transforming from a predominantly White community to one with a more diverse racial composition.
In 2013, Patio Villa was classified as having a "White Majority" with 55% of the population identifying as White.

The most notable changes include a decrease in the White population from 55% in 2013 to 28% in 2022, an increase in the Black population from 31% in 2013 to 47% in 2022, the emergence of an Asian population (12% in 2022) where previously there was none, and a gradual increase in the Hispanic population from 7% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. These shifts suggest that Patio Villa has become a "Transitional Community," with increasing diversity over the past decade.

This recent population growth coincides with the increased diversity, suggesting that the neighborhood may be attracting new residents from various racial backgrounds.
The demographic shifts observed in Patio Villa align with broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where historically White-majority neighborhoods are becoming more diverse. This trend is associated with factors such as changing housing preferences, economic opportunities, and evolving social dynamics.
The moderate income levels and recent population growth suggest that Patio Villa may be experiencing some degree of gentrification or urban renewal, which could be contributing to the changing racial composition. The emergence of an Asian population and the growth of the Hispanic community also reflect national trends of increasing diversity in metropolitan areas.
Patio Villa exemplifies a neighborhood in transition, moving from a homogeneous community to one that reflects the increasing diversity of American urban landscapes. These changes affect local culture, community dynamics, and economic development.
