The neighborhood's median income is above the national median, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. The slow diversification trend aligns with national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas, albeit at a more gradual pace.

Crestwood-Hinda Heights remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood with signs of gradual diversification. The slow transition towards increased diversity, combined with maintained high median incomes, suggests a controlled integration of new residents. This process may be preserving the neighborhood's economic status while slowly altering its demographic composition. Future years will be significant in determining whether this trend accelerates towards Moderate Diversity or maintains its current trajectory of slow change.
