The DRNAG neighborhood in San Bernardino, California, has been classified as a "Hispanic Majority" community as of 2022, with a Hispanic population of 63%. This neighborhood has undergone significant demographic changes over the past decade, transitioning from a moderately diverse area to one with a clear racial majority. The median income in 2022 was $52,194, reflecting a complex economic landscape with fluctuations over the years. The neighborhood has maintained a relatively stable population size despite economic and demographic changes.
In 2013, DRNAG was classified as a "Majority-Minority" area with a diverse mix of racial groups. The Hispanic population was 55% at that time, not constituting an outright majority. Over the following decade, a transition to a "Hispanic Majority" community occurred. The Hispanic population increased from 55% in 2013 to 63% in 2022. Concurrently, the white population declined from 26% to 16% over the same period. The black population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 11% and 17% throughout the decade. Other racial groups, including Asians and those of two or more races, maintained a minor but consistent presence.
The median income in DRNAG has shown considerable volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, it fluctuated between a low of $45,164 (2015) and a high of $61,136 (2021). The rise to Hispanic majority status does not seem to correlate consistently with income trends. The peak median income in 2021 coincided with the highest Hispanic population percentage (68%). However, the subsequent year saw both a slight decrease in the Hispanic population and a significant drop in median income.
The trend towards increased Hispanic representation in DRNAG aligns with broader demographic shifts seen in many parts of California and the Southwestern United States. The rate of change in this neighborhood appears to be more pronounced than state-wide averages. The economic fluctuations observed in DRNAG, particularly the sharp rise and fall in median income between 2021 and 2022, may reflect the broader economic volatility experienced nationwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. The neighborhood's median income has generally remained below the California state median, indicating persistent economic challenges despite demographic changes.
DRNAG has undergone a significant demographic transformation over the past decade, evolving from a moderately diverse, majority-minority area to a clear Hispanic majority community. This shift has occurred against a backdrop of economic volatility, suggesting a complex interplay between racial demographics and economic factors. The neighborhood's ability to maintain a relatively stable population through these changes points to its resilience and the potential for community cohesion despite demographic and economic fluctuations.
