Meadow Creek, a neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas, has transitioned from a moderately diverse community to a Hispanic majority area between 2013 and 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 27% in 2013 to 57% in 2022, while the Black population decreased from 43% to 25%, and the White population declined from 22% to 12%. The neighborhood's population grew from 6,503 residents in 2010 to 8,420 in 2022.
The median income in Meadow Creek has remained relatively stable despite significant demographic changes. It fluctuated between $74,000 and $87,000 from 2013 to 2022, ending at $78,596 in 2022. This stability suggests that the influx of Hispanic residents and the outflow of Black and White residents did not significantly alter the overall economic status of the neighborhood.
The demographic shift in Meadow Creek aligns with broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, particularly in Texas and other southwestern states, where Hispanic populations are growing and becoming majority groups in previously diverse neighborhoods. The stability of median income despite significant demographic changes is noteworthy, suggesting that the incoming Hispanic population likely had similar economic status to the existing residents.
The growth in population and maintenance of income levels suggests that Meadow Creek has remained an economically viable and attractive neighborhood throughout its demographic transition. This stands in contrast to some urban areas where demographic shifts are accompanied by economic decline or gentrification-led displacement.
Meadow Creek presents a case of a transitional community that has evolved into a Hispanic majority area while maintaining economic stability. This transformation offers insights into the complex interplay between racial demographics, population growth, and economic factors in urban neighborhoods.
