Atlantic appears resistant to the national trend of increasing diversity, maintaining its predominantly white demographic composition. The economic growth, while positive, may not be sufficient to attract a more diverse population or retain younger, potentially more diverse residents.

Based on observed trends, Atlantic is likely to remain in the Low Diversity category for the foreseeable future. The rate of demographic change is extremely slow, with no indications of a rapid shift towards greater diversity.

If the slight increases in Asian and Black populations continue and accelerate, a very gradual transition towards a Moderate Diversity category might occur over the next couple of decades. This would require continued economic growth and potentially targeted efforts to attract and retain a more diverse population.

The economic trajectory suggests continued income growth, which could potentially attract more diverse residents in the long term. However, without significant changes in local policies or external factors, any transition is likely to be very gradual.

Atlantic has experienced positive economic growth, but its demographic composition remains highly homogeneous. The city faces the challenge of potentially becoming more attractive to a diverse population while maintaining its economic progress. Future policies aimed at economic development might need to consider strategies for increasing diversity to align with broader national trends and potentially boost long-term economic resilience.
