Euless, Texas, experienced significant demographic changes between 2013 and 2022, transitioning from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" classification. In 2013, the white population comprised 54% of the total. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 40%, no longer constituting a majority. The city's population grew from 58,771 to 68,190, a 16% increase over the decade.
The Hispanic population remained relatively stable at 20-22% throughout this period. The Asian population increased modestly from 10% to 14%, while the Black population grew more substantially from 10% to 17%. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races more than tripled, from 2% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, indicating an increasing trend towards multiracial identities.
Economically, Euless experienced steady growth alongside its demographic changes. The median income rose from $66,850 in 2013 to $73,889 in 2022, an increase of about 10.5% over the decade. This growth suggests that the diversification of the population has been accompanied by overall economic improvement.
The trends observed in Euless align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States. The shift from a white majority to a more diverse population mix is reflective of national trends towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity, particularly in suburban areas near major metropolitan centers.
Based on the observed trends, Euless is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. If current trends persist, the city might transition from "Moderate Diversity" to "High Diversity" within the next 5-10 years. The consistent growth in the Asian and Black populations, coupled with the rapid increase in multiracial identities, suggests that no single group will likely comprise more than 40% of the population in the near future.
Economically, if the trend of income growth continues alongside population diversification, Euless may become an exemplar of successful integration and economic development in an increasingly diverse suburban landscape. It will be crucial for city planners and policymakers to ensure that this economic growth benefits all segments of the population to maintain social cohesion and prevent potential disparities.
Euless represents a microcosm of America's changing demographic landscape, transitioning from a predominantly white community to one of significant diversity. This evolution, coupled with economic growth, positions Euless as a community to watch for insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by rapid demographic change in suburban America.
