This rise in median income correlates with the slight increase in diversity.

Beverly Glen's demographic and economic trends reflect patterns seen in many affluent urban areas across the United States. There is a gradual increase in diversity, particularly among high-income Asian and Hispanic populations. This aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in wealthy suburbs and urban enclaves.
Beverly Glen's changes are more modest compared to many other Los Angeles neighborhoods, which have experienced more rapid demographic shifts. The area's high median income and low population density contribute to its slower pace of change, as high property values create significant barriers to entry for many potential residents.
The slight increase in diversity, coupled with rising median incomes, suggests that Beverly Glen is slowly becoming more inclusive of high-income individuals from various racial backgrounds. However, the pace of change is slow, and the neighborhood remains one of the least diverse affluent areas in Los Angeles. This gradual shift may be influencing local culture and businesses, potentially leading to a more varied, albeit still exclusive, community character over time.
