Calvin Crest, a neighborhood in Prairie Village, Kansas, exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile with a strong White Majority. As of 2022, the neighborhood has a population of 482 and a median income of $141,044. Calvin Crest has maintained a consistently high percentage of white residents over the past decade, despite broader national trends towards increasing diversity.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Calvin Crest has consistently fallen under the Low Diversity category, with the white population comprising over 90% of residents each year. There has been no significant transition between diversity categories, indicating a highly stable racial demographic. The white population has slightly decreased from 98% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. There has been a small but consistent Asian presence, fluctuating between 1-3% of the population. The Hispanic population has remained steady at around 1-3% since 2015. The proportion of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
The median income in Calvin Crest has fluctuated significantly over the past decade. It peaked in 2018 at $179,289, showing a general upward trend from 2013 to 2018. There was a sharp decline in 2020-2021, with the median income dropping to $99,925 in 2021. As of 2022, the median income has rebounded to $141,044, close to its 2013 level. These economic fluctuations do not appear to have significantly impacted the racial composition of the neighborhood.
Calvin Crest's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The U.S. has been becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with the white population decreasing from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020. Calvin Crest has maintained its overwhelmingly white demographic.
The neighborhood's median income, even at its lowest point in 2021, remained well above the national median household income of $70,784 (as of 2021). This suggests that Calvin Crest is an affluent enclave that has been largely insulated from broader demographic shifts.
Calvin Crest presents a case of demographic stability in an era of increasing national diversity. Its high median income and consistent racial composition suggest a well-established, affluent community that has experienced minimal demographic change despite economic fluctuations. This stability raises questions about housing affordability, community integration efforts, and the factors that have maintained such a homogeneous population in an increasingly diverse national landscape.
