Slide Hill Park, a neighborhood in Davis, California, is characterized as a "Low Diversity" area with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 65% of the neighborhood. The median income in 2022 was $110,312, indicating an affluent community.
Over the past decade, Slide Hill Park has maintained its status as a White Majority neighborhood, with some fluctuations. In 2013, the white population was 78%. From 2013 to 2016, the neighborhood transitioned from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity, with the white population decreasing to 59%. From 2016 to 2019, the area maintained Moderate Diversity status. From 2019 to 2022, there was a slight reversal towards Low Diversity, with the white population increasing to 65%.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. From 2013 to 2016, as diversity increased, median income grew from $97,550 to $100,817. During the period of highest diversity (2016-2019), median income saw significant growth, peaking at $118,412 in 2019. From 2019 to 2022, as the community became less diverse, median income fluctuated, ending at $110,312 in 2022.
The demographic trends in Slide Hill Park partially reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the recent reversal towards less diversity is somewhat atypical. The high median income and predominantly white population suggest that Slide Hill Park may be experiencing a form of "suburban gentrification."
The economic resilience of the neighborhood, even during periods of demographic change, indicates a robust local economy. This contrasts with many areas nationally where demographic shifts often correlate with more dramatic economic fluctuations.
In conclusion, while Slide Hill Park has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade, it remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood. The period of increased diversity coincided with economic growth. However, the recent trend back towards less diversity raises questions about long-term inclusivity and affordability in the area. These patterns highlight the complex interplay between racial demographics and economic factors in shaping community dynamics.
