Kerrville's median income has shown overall growth, rising from $47,929 in 2013 to $57,856 in 2022, an increase of about 20.7% over nine years. This economic improvement correlates with the subtle demographic shifts. However, the median income saw a significant drop from $63,138 in 2021 to $57,856 in 2022, which could signal recent economic challenges.

The population has grown steadily from 32,812 in 2010 to 36,075 in 2022, a 10% increase over 12 years. This moderate growth suggests that Kerrville is attracting new residents, which may be contributing to its gradual diversification.

Kerrville's demographic composition differs from Texas as a whole. The city's gradual diversification aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many communities, though at a slower pace than some urban areas.

Based on the observed trends, Kerrville is likely to continue its slow transition towards greater diversity. If current trends persist, over the next decade, the city might move closer to a "Moderate Diversity" categorization. The Hispanic population may continue to grow, potentially reaching or exceeding 30% of the total population.

Economically, despite the recent dip in median income, the long-term trend suggests continued growth. However, the volatility seen in recent years indicates that economic progress may not be linear and could be subject to external factors.

Kerrville remains a predominantly white community with relatively low diversity, but it shows signs of gradual demographic change. This slow transition, coupled with overall economic growth, suggests a community in the early stages of evolution towards greater diversity and potentially more economic opportunities. However, the pace of change indicates that significant shifts in the city's demographic and economic landscape will likely take place over an extended period, barring any major external influences.
