Hubbard Heights, a neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas, is characterized as a "Hispanic Majority" community. As of 2022, the neighborhood has a population of 3,945 with a median income of $37,793. The Hispanic presence in Hubbard Heights has remained consistently high over the past decade, comprising over 75% of the total population.
Over the past decade, Hubbard Heights has maintained its status as a "Hispanic Majority" community, placing it in the "Low Diversity" category. While the Hispanic majority has remained stable, there have been subtle shifts in other racial groups. The Black population has increased from 3% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The White population has decreased from 14% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. Asian and multiracial populations have remained relatively stable at around 1% each.
The median income in Hubbard Heights has shown fluctuations over the years, with an overall upward trend. In 2013, the median income was $29,338. It peaked in 2021 at $41,065. As of 2022, it stands at $37,793. This represents an increase of about 29% from 2013 to 2022, despite some year-to-year volatility. This economic improvement has occurred alongside the slight increase in racial diversity, particularly the growth in the Black population.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between about 4,000 and 4,500 residents. This stability in population, combined with the increasing median income, suggests a neighborhood that is experiencing some economic growth without significant demographic turnover.
The strong Hispanic majority in Hubbard Heights is higher than the overall Hispanic population in Texas, which is around 40%. The median income of $37,793 in 2022 is lower than the Texas median household income of about $67,000, indicating that while the neighborhood has seen economic improvement, it still faces economic challenges compared to state averages. The gradual increase in the Black population, while the White population decreases, mirrors broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas.
Hubbard Heights presents a picture of a stable, predominantly Hispanic community that has maintained its cultural character while experiencing moderate economic growth. The subtle shifts towards increased diversity, particularly in the Black population, suggest the neighborhood may be slowly transitioning, though it remains within the "Hispanic Majority" and "Low Diversity" categories. The economic improvements, while significant, still leave room for further growth to reach parity with broader state economic indicators.
