Thunder Moor, a neighborhood in Fort Collins, Colorado, is classified as a Low Diversity area with a White Majority as of 2022. The white population comprises 73% of the community, and the median income is $42,066. The neighborhood has experienced substantial population growth, increasing from 722 residents in 2010 to 1,403 in 2022.
Thunder Moor has maintained a White Majority status throughout the analyzed period. However, the percentage of white residents has decreased from 84% in 2013 to 73% in 2022, indicating a trend towards increasing diversity. The Asian population has grown from 3% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has increased from 3% to 12% during the same period. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has risen to 4% by 2022.
The median income in Thunder Moor has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $36,454 in 2013 to $42,066 in 2022, representing a 15.4% increase. The median income peaked at $52,723 in 2019 but has since declined. The gradual increase in diversity appears to correlate with modest income growth.
Thunder Moor's population growth outpaces national averages. The increasing diversity in the neighborhood aligns with national trends of growing minority populations in previously homogeneous communities. The median income, while growing, remains below the national median. Despite economic challenges, Thunder Moor has maintained a relatively stable median income.
Thunder Moor is transitioning from a highly homogeneous community to one with increasing diversity, particularly with growth in Asian and Hispanic populations. This demographic shift, coupled with modest economic growth, indicates a neighborhood in transition.
