The recent sharp decline in median income from 2021 to 2022 may warrant further investigation into local economic factors.
The stability of the racial composition in Eastlawn Gardens, despite national trends towards increased diversity, suggests that this community may have unique factors contributing to its demographic consistency. These could include limited housing development, established community preferences, or specific local economic drivers that attract or retain a particular demographic.
In conclusion, Eastlawn Gardens has experienced minor demographic shifts and economic fluctuations over the past decade, but has largely maintained its character as a Low Diversity, White Majority community with above-average income levels. The community's resistance to broader national trends towards increased diversity may present both challenges and opportunities for future community development and social integration efforts.
