The median income in Auburndale has shown an overall positive trend, rising from $47,317 in 2013 to $59,312 in 2022, an increase of about 25%. This economic growth has coincided with the increasing diversity of the population. The population has also grown steadily from 27,681 in 2013 to 34,066 in 2022, a growth of about 23%.

The correlation between increasing diversity and rising median income suggests that the city has been attracting a diverse workforce, potentially driven by economic opportunities. This could indicate that the city is becoming more attractive to a wider range of residents, possibly due to job growth or improved quality of life factors.

The trends observed in Auburndale align with broader patterns seen in many American cities, where increasing diversity often correlates with economic growth and population expansion. The gradual nature of these changes suggests a stable transition rather than rapid demographic shifts.

Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Auburndale will continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. If current trends persist, the city may transition from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" classification within the next 5-10 years. The Hispanic population, in particular, may continue to grow, potentially reaching or exceeding 20% of the population.

Economically, if the correlation between diversity and income growth continues, further increases in median income might be expected. The city may also be moving towards becoming a "Transitional Community" as defined in our library, with the Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races showing consistent growth over time.

Auburndale appears to be on a path of gradual diversification coupled with economic growth. This trend could position the city as an increasingly attractive destination for a diverse range of residents and businesses, potentially leading to further economic and cultural enrichment in the coming years.
