Over the past decade, Carino Estates has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" to a "Moderate Diversity" community. In 2013, the neighborhood had a "White Majority" with 74% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 52%. The Asian population increased from 4% in 2013 to 25% in 2022, aligning with the definition of a "Transitional Community." The Hispanic population fluctuated, peaking at 27% in 2018 before settling at 18% in 2022.
The median income in Carino Estates has shown fluctuations correlating with demographic shifts. From 2013 to 2019, there was an upward trend in median income, peaking at $120,092 in 2019. This period coincided with the increasing Asian population and relative stability in the white majority. In 2020, the median income dropped to $96,278, possibly due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This economic shift coincided with a more rapid diversification of the community.
The population has remained relatively stable over the years, fluctuating between 3,600 and 4,700 residents. This suggests that demographic changes are more likely due to in-migration and out-migration rather than natural population growth.
The trends observed in Carino Estates align with broader patterns seen in suburban areas near tech hubs across the United States. The increasing Asian population is consistent with national trends of growing Asian communities in areas with high-tech job opportunities. The neighborhood's income levels remain well above the national median household income, indicating that Carino Estates continues to be an affluent area despite recent economic challenges.
The shift towards greater diversity in Carino Estates reflects a wider national trend of increasing diversity in suburban areas, particularly those near major cities and tech centers. This trend often brings cultural enrichment and economic dynamism but can also present challenges in terms of community integration and potential socioeconomic disparities.
Carino Estates represents a microcosm of broader demographic and economic shifts occurring in many affluent suburban areas across the United States. Its evolution from a predominantly white community to one of moderate diversity, coupled with its economic resilience, suggests a neighborhood in transition, adapting to changing regional and national demographics while maintaining its status as a desirable, high-income area.
