The demographic shifts in Empire correlate with changes in median income. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $33,720 to $49,013, a growth of approximately 45%. This increase in income levels coincides with the strengthening of the Hispanic majority in the community.

The population has fluctuated over the years, with a notable decrease in 2018 to 3,904 residents, but has since recovered to 4,385 in 2022. This population recovery occurred alongside the continued increase in median income, suggesting a potential relationship between economic opportunities and demographic stability.

Based on the observed trends, Empire is likely to continue strengthening its status as a "Hispanic Majority" community. The consistent growth in the Hispanic population, combined with the increasing percentage of residents identifying as two or more races, suggests a potential future transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" category within the Hispanic majority context.

Economically, if the trend of rising median income continues, further economic development in the area may be expected. This could potentially attract more diverse populations, possibly leading to a more complex demographic composition in the long term. However, in the near future, the Hispanic majority is likely to remain stable or increase.

The community may also continue to see growth in the multi-racial category, potentially evolving into a unique blend of Hispanic majority with increasing internal diversity. This could create a cultural landscape that maintains strong Hispanic roots while incorporating a variety of other influences.

Empire appears to be on a trajectory of demographic consolidation around its Hispanic majority, with potential for increased internal diversity and continued economic growth. These trends will likely influence the community's cultural identity and economic opportunities in the coming years.
