Lake Shore in Minnesota is categorized as a community with "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The city's population is predominantly white (93%), with minimal representation from other racial groups. The current median income is $75,912, indicating a relatively affluent community.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Lake Shore has consistently fallen under the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has remained above 90% throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations. The Hispanic population has shown a slight increase, from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has also seen a small increase, from 1% to 2% over the same period. These minor shifts suggest a very slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, but not enough to change the overall categorization of the community.
The median income in Lake Shore has shown a general upward trend over the past decade, rising from $54,863 in 2013 to $75,912 in 2022, an increase of about 38%. This significant income growth suggests improving economic conditions for the residents. The population has also grown steadily, from 2,221 in 2013 to 2,513 in 2022, an increase of about 13%. This population growth, coupled with rising incomes, indicates that Lake Shore is becoming increasingly attractive to new residents, possibly due to economic opportunities or quality of life factors.
The consistent "Low Diversity" categorization suggests that Lake Shore may not be following national trends towards increased diversity seen in many urban and suburban areas. The significant income growth may be outpacing national averages, potentially making the area more exclusive over time.
Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Lake Shore will remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the foreseeable future. However, the slow but steady increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations suggests a potential long-term trend towards slightly increased diversity. If current trends continue, we might see a further increase in median income, continued slow growth in minority populations, particularly Hispanic and multiracial residents, and steady population growth as the area attracts more residents.
While it is unlikely that Lake Shore will transition to a new diversity category in the near future, it may slowly move towards becoming a "Transitional Community" over a longer period. This transition would be characterized by a gradual increase in minority populations, particularly Hispanic and multiracial residents, potentially coupled with continued economic growth. However, any significant shift in demographics would likely take several decades at the current rate of change. The community's economic prosperity may continue to be a defining characteristic, potentially attracting a more diverse population over time, but this process appears to be very gradual in Lake Shore.
