By 2022, it transitioned to a Majority-Minority community with White residents comprising 40% and Black residents 38% of the population. This shift occurred gradually, with the neighborhood passing through a Moderate Diversity phase in 2017. The Black population increased from 27% in 2013 to 38% in 2022, while the Asian population grew from 3% to 9% during the same period. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable between 10-15% throughout the decade.

The demographic changes in Ortega Hills coincided with fluctuations in median income. The median income was $44,717 in 2013, peaked at $53,107 in 2018, and then declined to $48,064 in 2022. The period of highest income aligned with the transition from Moderate Diversity to Majority-Minority status. However, the subsequent decline in median income occurred as the neighborhood solidified its Majority-Minority status. The population of Ortega Hills increased from 8,458 in 2010 to 9,505 in 2022.

The demographic shifts observed in Ortega Hills are consistent with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. Many U.S. cities have experienced a transition to Majority-Minority status over the past decade, particularly in previously predominantly white suburban areas. The economic fluctuations in Ortega Hills, characterized by a peak followed by a decline, may reflect national economic trends, including the recovery from the 2008 recession and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the neighborhood's median income remains below the national median of $69,021 as of 2022.
