The Trovita neighborhood in Chandler, Arizona, is currently a White Majority community with a significant Asian population. As of 2022, the neighborhood is characterized by high median income levels. Trovita has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade, transitioning from a more diverse community to one with a stronger Asian presence alongside the White majority.
In 2013, Trovita was categorized as a White Majority community, with 67% of the population identified as white. Over the years, the neighborhood has undergone a transition towards increased diversity, particularly with the growth of the Asian population. By 2022, while still maintaining a White Majority status (51%), the Asian population has grown significantly to 39%, nearly reaching a Moderate Diversity classification.
The Hispanic population, which was a notable minority in the earlier part of the decade (26% in 2015), has decreased to 8% by 2022. This shift suggests a potential displacement or relocation of Hispanic residents. The Black population has decreased from a small presence (10% in 2014) to virtually non-existent by 2022. This change, along with the Hispanic population decline, indicates a trend towards a more binary racial composition of White and Asian residents.
The median income in Trovita has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $121,130 in 2015 to $138,193 in 2022. This increase in median income correlates with the growing Asian population and the maintained White Majority. The population of Trovita has fluctuated over the years but shows an overall growth trend, increasing from 154 in 2015 to 251 in 2022.
The demographic shifts observed in Trovita reflect broader trends seen in many suburban areas across the United States, particularly those near tech hubs or growing economic centers. The increase in Asian population is consistent with national trends of Asian immigration and internal migration to areas with strong job markets in technology and professional services.
The decline in Hispanic and Black populations in Trovita raises questions about potential gentrification or economic displacement. This trend is observed in many rapidly developing urban and suburban areas across the country. The high median income levels in Trovita ($138,193 in 2022) significantly exceed the national median household income (which was around $67,521 in 2020), positioning Trovita as an upper-income enclave within the broader Chandler area.
Trovita has evolved from a predominantly White community with significant Hispanic representation to a more affluent, binary racial composition of White and Asian residents. This transition reflects broader national trends of suburban diversification and economic stratification. The neighborhood's evolution presents both opportunities for increased cultural exchange and challenges related to maintaining diversity and inclusivity across different socio-economic groups.
