The 92590 zip code in Temecula, California, exhibited significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. As of 2022, this area was categorized as a "Moderate Diversity" community with a population of 6,200 and a median income of $80,323. The racial composition showed no single group holding a clear majority, with the Hispanic population at 42% and the White population at 43%.
Over the past decade, this zip code underwent notable demographic shifts. From 2013 to 2022, the area displayed characteristics of a "Transitional Community." The Hispanic population increased from 35% to 42%, while the White population decreased from 53% to 43%. In 2013, the community was classified as having a "White Majority" (53%). By 2015, it transitioned to a "Majority-Minority" status, and subsequently settled into a "Moderate Diversity" category.
The Asian population in the area doubled from 4% in 2013 to 8% in 2016, maintaining a significant presence of 6-7% thereafter. Additionally, the "Two or More Races" category increased from 3% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, indicating growing racial intermixing.
The demographic shifts correlated with various economic trends. The median income fluctuated over the years, from a high of $81,668 in 2013 to a low of $66,437 in 2015, before recovering to $80,323 in 2022. The population grew steadily from 4,264 in 2010 to 6,200 in 2022, a 45% increase. This growth coincided with the area's transition to greater diversity. The period of lowest median income in 2015 coincided with the transition from White Majority to Majority-Minority status. As the community stabilized into Moderate Diversity, incomes generally trended upward.
These trends align with broader patterns observed in many suburban areas of California. The shift from White Majority to Moderate Diversity reflects a wider trend of increasing diversity in suburban areas, particularly in California. The significant increase in the Hispanic population is consistent with statewide demographic trends in California over the past decade. Despite demographic changes, the area maintained a relatively high median income, suggesting economic resilience in the face of demographic shifts. The increase in the multiracial population aligns with national trends, as the U.S. sees growing rates of interracial marriages and multiracial identifications.
This analysis reveals a community in transition, moving from a predominantly White area to one of moderate diversity, with economic indicators generally remaining strong despite fluctuations. These changes likely reflect broader regional and state-level demographic shifts, as well as the evolving nature of suburban communities in California.
