The economic improvements do not seem to have dramatically altered the racial composition of the neighborhood. The trend of increasing median income in Fond du Lac aligns with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession.

The slight increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations reflects broader national demographic shifts towards increased diversity.
Fond du Lac remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community. Subtle demographic shifts and economic improvements over the past decade suggest a neighborhood in the early stages of change. The increasing median income, coupled with a decreasing population, may indicate a transformation in the neighborhood's character, potentially attracting more affluent residents while maintaining its predominantly White demographic profile. The neighborhood's historical significance as a Native American settlement highlights long-term changes in the area's cultural landscape.
