The Edinborough neighborhood in Edina, Minnesota, exhibits a White Majority population with Low Diversity as of 2022. The population stands at 2,331 with a median income of $51,863. The white population comprises 77% of the total, categorizing the neighborhood as Low Diversity. Edinborough features an indoor park spanning one acre under glass, providing year-round recreational facilities.
Over the past decade, Edinborough has experienced subtle demographic changes. In 2013, the neighborhood was classified as White Majority with Low Diversity, with whites constituting 76% of the population. From 2015 to 2018, the area shifted towards Moderate Diversity, with the white population decreasing to 63-65% and increases in Asian and Hispanic populations. By 2020, the neighborhood returned to its White Majority status with Low Diversity, a trend that continued through 2022.
The Asian and Black populations underwent significant changes. The Asian population reached 18% in 2015 but declined to 4% by 2022. The Black population increased from 4% in 2013 to 13% in 2022, demonstrating a consistent upward trend.
The median income in Edinborough has fluctuated, showing a general downward trend. From $57,772 in 2014, it decreased to $51,863 in 2022, a 10.2% decline. This economic shift coincides with the demographic changes, particularly the increase in racial diversity from 2015 to 2018.
The period of greatest racial diversity (2015-2018) corresponded with the lowest median incomes, ranging from $48,449 to $51,519. As the neighborhood reverted to a stronger White Majority status from 2020 onwards, median incomes stabilized but did not return to their 2013-2014 levels.
The population grew from 2,109 in 2013 to 2,331 in 2022, a 10.5% increase. This growth occurred alongside the demographic shifts, suggesting new residents of various racial backgrounds contributed to the population increase.
The demographic shifts in Edinborough reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The reversion to a stronger White Majority in recent years is atypical, as many suburbs continue to diversify. The decrease in median income may indicate wider economic pressures faced by middle-class neighborhoods across the United States.
The fluctuation in the Asian population, from 18% in 2015 to 4% in 2022, is notable and may require further investigation into local economic or social factors that could have influenced this change.
Edinborough has maintained its status as a White Majority, Low Diversity neighborhood despite periods of increasing diversity. The declining median income appears to be a significant factor in shaping its demographic composition. These trends suggest a complex interplay between racial demographics and economic factors in this suburban Minnesota neighborhood.
