The median household income in Highland Creek ($135,747 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. The trend towards increased affluence and decreased diversity in Highland Creek may reflect broader patterns of gentrification seen in many urban and suburban areas across the United States. The recent increase in Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races aligns with national demographic trends showing growing diversity in many communities.

Highland Creek has evolved from a moderately diverse, affluent neighborhood to an even more affluent, less diverse community over the past decade. However, recent data suggests it may be entering a transitional phase with increasing Hispanic and multiracial populations. These changes reflect complex interactions between economic growth, housing market dynamics, and broader demographic shifts, potentially signaling future changes in the neighborhood's character and composition.
