La Puente's strong Hispanic majority is common in parts of California, particularly in the Los Angeles area. The city's low diversity contrasts with the increasing diversity trend in many U.S. urban areas. The rising median income aligns with broader economic trends in California, but the population decline is atypical for urban areas in the state.

Based on observed trends, La Puente will likely remain a Low Diversity city with a Hispanic Majority in the near future. A slow transition towards a Moderate Diversity category may occur over the next decade or two. The gradual increase in the Asian population and slight decrease in the Hispanic population suggest a slow diversification process.

If current trends continue, La Puente may transition into a Majority-Minority category, where minority groups collectively form the majority. Continued rising median incomes alongside population decline could lead to further gentrification and more significant demographic shifts. This might accelerate the diversification process, possibly resulting in a Transitional Community categorization in the future.

These predictions are based on extrapolation of current trends, and unforeseen factors could significantly alter the city's demographic and economic trajectory.
