The Cultural Corridor contains several significant cultural institutions in Las Vegas.
The Cultural Corridor has maintained its "Majority-Minority" status throughout the analyzed period. The Hispanic population has remained dominant, fluctuating between 61% and 65% of the total population. Other racial categories have experienced minor shifts. The Black population decreased slightly from 13% in 2013 to 13% in 2022, with a peak of 16% in 2015-2016. The Asian population increased gradually from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The White population decreased from 17% in 2013 to 16% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022.
The median income in the Cultural Corridor increased from $30,002 in 2013 to $35,299 in 2022, representing a 17.7% growth. This economic improvement correlates with demographic shifts. The increase in median income coincides with growth in the Asian population and the "Two or More Races" category. Despite a slight decrease in the White population percentage, the overall economic situation improved. The stable Hispanic majority maintained its presence while the community's economic status improved.
The demographic trends in the Cultural Corridor reflect broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban areas. The growth in the multiracial population aligns with national trends reported in the 2020 U.S. Census. The median income increase of 17.7% over a decade is notable, although it remains below the national median household income of $70,784 in 2021. This suggests economic growth in the Cultural Corridor, but challenges persist in reaching national economic standards.
The stability of the Hispanic majority in this neighborhood contrasts with national trends of Hispanic population growth and dispersion. While many areas are experiencing new Hispanic immigration, the Cultural Corridor appears to have an established Hispanic community that has maintained its presence over time.
The Cultural Corridor neighborhood exemplifies a stable "Majority-Minority" community with indications of increasing diversity and gradual economic improvement. These trends suggest a slowly evolving demographic landscape that maintains strong ethnic character while embracing growing diversity and pursuing economic advancement.
