Coppell, a neighborhood in Texas, has undergone a significant demographic transformation from 2013 to 2022. Initially a White Majority community, Coppell has transitioned to a Majority-Minority status while maintaining a high median income. In 2013, the white population constituted 70% of Coppell's residents. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 46%, with no single racial group forming a majority.
The most notable change occurred in the Asian population, which increased from 15% in 2013 to 34% in 2022. This growth was the primary factor in Coppell's shift from White Majority to Majority-Minority status. The Hispanic population also experienced growth, rising from 5% to 11% during this period. These demographic changes suggest that Coppell has become increasingly attractive to diverse, affluent families.
Throughout this demographic shift, Coppell's median income remained consistently high, ranging between $126,091 and $146,661 over the decade. The population grew from 8,915 in 2013 to 13,540 in 2022, representing a 52% increase. This population growth, combined with sustained high incomes, indicates that Coppell has successfully attracted affluent families from various racial backgrounds.
Coppell's demographic transition aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas, particularly those with strong economies and good schools. However, Coppell is distinctive in maintaining exceptionally high median incomes throughout this transition, which is not always observed in diversifying communities.
The growth of the Asian population in Coppell is particularly significant and may reflect larger trends of Asian immigration and internal migration to tech-oriented job markets in Texas. This trend is similar to observations in other affluent suburbs near major tech hubs across the United States.
Coppell has evolved from a predominantly White, affluent suburb to a highly diverse, equally affluent community over the past decade. This transition reflects broader national trends towards suburban diversity but is distinguished by the maintenance of very high median incomes throughout the demographic shift. The neighborhood's ability to attract diverse, high-income residents suggests a combination of strong economic opportunities, quality of life factors, and possibly a welcoming community atmosphere that has appealed to a wide range of ethnic groups.
