Creekside, a neighborhood in Roseville, California, is classified as a "Transitional Community" with "Moderate Diversity" as of 2022. The neighborhood has experienced significant demographic changes over the past decade, transitioning from a predominantly white area to one with increasing racial diversity. Creekside's population has nearly tripled from 2010 to 2022, indicating substantial development and changing community dynamics.
In 2013, Creekside had "Low Diversity" with a "White Majority" (71% white). Over the next decade, the white population percentage gradually decreased to 52% by 2022, approaching a transition to a "White Plurality" or "Majority-Minority" community. The Hispanic population increased from 3% in 2013 to 20% in 2022, while the Black population grew from 4% to 7%. The Asian population remained stable at 3-4%. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 6% in 2017 to 11% in 2022, further supporting Creekside's classification as a "Transitional Community".
The demographic shifts in Creekside have been accompanied by significant economic changes. The median income increased from $58,138 in 2013 to $92,907 in 2022, with a peak of $110,857 in 2021. This increase suggests that the neighborhood is attracting more affluent residents. The population grew from 107 in 2013 to 339 in 2022, indicating rapid expansion likely correlated with new housing developments and increased economic opportunities.
The demographic shifts observed in Creekside align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many suburbs across the United States have been experiencing similar transitions from predominantly white communities to more diverse neighborhoods. However, Creekside's rapid population growth and significant increase in median income distinguish it from many other transitioning communities.
The economic growth in Creekside, as evidenced by the rising median income, suggests that this demographic transition is occurring alongside or perhaps driven by economic development in the area. This contrasts with some transitional communities where demographic changes are accompanied by economic challenges.
Creekside exemplifies a suburban neighborhood in transition, moving from a homogeneous, predominantly white community to one of increasing racial and ethnic diversity. This transition has been accompanied by significant economic growth, potentially making Creekside an attractive destination for a diverse range of new residents. As the community continues to evolve, it will be important to monitor whether it maintains its current trajectory towards greater diversity or if it stabilizes at its current demographic composition.
