Spring, Texas, is categorized as a "Moderate Diversity" community. As of 2022, the city has a population of 73,085 with a median income of $81,641. The racial composition shows no single group exceeding 50%, with Hispanic (40%) and White (33%) populations forming the largest segments, followed by a significant Black population (21%).
Over the past decade, Spring has transitioned from a "White Plurality" community to its current "Moderate Diversity" status. In 2013, White residents formed a plurality at 45%. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to 33%, while the Hispanic population grew from 28% to 40%. The Black population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 19-23% throughout the decade. The Asian population has consistently been around 2-3%, while other racial categories have maintained minimal representation.
The available economic data for 2021 and 2022 shows an increase in median income from $79,884 to $81,641, a 2.2% increase. The population grew by about 1.6% in this period, from 71,893 to 73,085. The simultaneous increase in population and median income suggests a growing community.
The growth in the Hispanic population and the shift towards greater diversity align with broader trends observed in many urban and suburban areas across Texas and the United States.
Based on the observed trends, Spring is likely to continue its trajectory towards increased diversity. If current patterns persist, the Hispanic population may become the majority within the next 5-10 years, potentially shifting the community from "Moderate Diversity" to a "Hispanic Majority" category. The White population may continue to decrease as a percentage, potentially dropping below 30%. The Black population is likely to remain stable, continuing to represent about one-fifth of the community. The Asian population may see a slight increase, potentially reaching 4-5% in the coming years.
Economically, if the trend of increasing median income continues, the area may see further economic growth, potentially attracting more diverse residents and businesses.
Spring appears to be evolving into a more diverse community with a strong Hispanic presence. This demographic shift, coupled with modest economic growth, suggests a changing urban landscape. Future city planning and community services may need to adapt to serve this increasingly diverse population effectively.
