The Brunsdale neighborhood in Fargo, North Dakota, exhibits a demographic profile transitioning from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity." As of 2022, the neighborhood maintains a White Majority (72% white), with significant shifts in racial composition over the past decade. The population is 6,413 with a median income of $46,214 in 2022, reflecting a middle-class suburban environment. Brunsdale's proximity to North Dakota State University likely influences its demographic makeup and economic characteristics.
Over the past decade, Brunsdale has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" community to one approaching "Moderate Diversity." In 2013, 88% of the population identified as white, decreasing to 72% by 2022. Other racial groups experienced significant increases. The Black population grew from 3% in 2013 to 12% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 2% to 4%. The Native American population, not significantly represented in 2013, grew to 5% by 2022. This shift was gradual but consistent, with the most dramatic changes occurring between 2019 and 2021.
The demographic shifts in Brunsdale correlate with changes in median income. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased slightly from $45,703 to $46,214. The period of most significant racial diversification (2019-2021) coincided with a peak in median income, reaching $51,182 in 2020. However, the subsequent decrease to $46,214 in 2022 might suggest economic challenges as the community continues to diversify. The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with minor fluctuations.
The demographic shifts in Brunsdale reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many U.S. cities have experienced similar transitions, particularly those near universities, which often act as catalysts for diversity. The economic trends in Brunsdale, however, diverge somewhat from national patterns. While many diverse communities across the U.S. have seen sustained economic growth alongside increased diversity, Brunsdale's recent income decline suggests local factors at play.
Brunsdale's transition from a "Low Diversity" to an emerging "Moderate Diversity" community over the past decade reflects significant social and demographic changes. These shifts align with broader national trends towards increased suburban diversity. The economic implications of these changes in Brunsdale appear complex and may require further monitoring to fully understand their long-term impact on the community.
