Shearwater, a neighborhood in Redwood City, California, has transitioned from an Asian Majority to a Moderate Diversity profile between 2013 and 2022. The Asian population decreased from 54% to 41%, while the White population increased to 44%. The Hispanic population grew from 1% to 10%. The Black population remained consistently low, not exceeding 7%. The median income in Shearwater has been consistently high, ranging between $180,000 and $200,000 throughout the observed period.

The population of Shearwater increased from 973 in 2013 to 1,422 in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 46%. This population increase, combined with the maintained high median income, suggests new development and continued attraction for high-income residents across various racial groups. The shift towards greater diversity without significant change in median income indicates that incoming residents from different racial backgrounds are likely in similar high-income brackets.

Shearwater's demographic evolution reflects broader trends seen in many affluent areas of Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. The increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, aligns with regional trends of increasing diversity in traditionally Asian and White-dominated tech hubs. However, Shearwater's exceptionally high median income distinguishes it from many other diverse neighborhoods.
