Rancho Collene, a neighborhood in Gilbert, Arizona, maintains a Low Diversity status with a White Majority population. As of 2022, the neighborhood has 630 residents and a median income of $113,030. The area has consistently remained a predominantly white neighborhood throughout the analyzed period, despite minor fluctuations in racial composition.
From 2013 to 2022, Rancho Collene has been categorized as Low Diversity and White Majority. The white population has comprised between 60% and 78% of the total population during this time frame. The Hispanic population has experienced fluctuations, peaking at 25% in 2017 before decreasing to 13% in 2022. The Asian population has shown a gradual decline from 21% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, with some variations. Other racial groups have maintained minimal representation throughout the period.
The median income in Rancho Collene has exhibited considerable fluctuation over the years. From 2013 to 2016, there was a steady increase in median income, rising from $95,284 to $110,157. A period of decline followed from 2017 to 2020, with the median income dropping to $71,203 in 2020. However, there has been a strong recovery since then, with the median income reaching $113,030 in 2022, the highest in the analyzed period.
These economic shifts do not appear to correlate strongly with the subtle demographic changes observed. The neighborhood has maintained its White Majority status throughout both economic upswings and downturns.
Rancho Collene's demographic stability contrasts with broader national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The neighborhood's consistent White Majority status and relatively high median income suggest it may be a more affluent and established community within Gilbert.
The significant drop in median income in 2020 likely reflects the broader economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected communities nationwide. However, the strong recovery in subsequent years indicates a robust local economy and possibly the presence of industries or employment sectors that rebounded quickly post-pandemic.
In conclusion, while Rancho Collene has experienced some economic volatility and subtle demographic shifts over the past decade, it has maintained its character as a Low Diversity, White Majority community with a generally high median income. This stability in racial composition, coupled with economic resilience, suggests a well-established neighborhood that has largely maintained its socio-economic character despite broader national trends towards increasing diversity.
