Lawrence has maintained its homogeneous racial composition, in contrast to many urban and suburban areas that have experienced significant demographic shifts towards greater diversity. The increase in median income in Lawrence outpaces the national average income growth.

Based on observed trends, Lawrence will likely continue to be categorized as a Low Diversity community in the near future. The slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races could be the beginning of a slow transition towards greater diversity.

If this trend continues, Lawrence might eventually transition into the category of a Transitional Community, characterized by a gradual increase in the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races or other minority groups, while maintaining a White majority.

Economically, if the trend of increasing median income continues, Lawrence may see further improvements in its residents' financial well-being. This could potentially attract more diverse residents seeking economic opportunities.

Significant demographic changes often occur slowly in small, stable communities like Lawrence. Any transition to a more diverse community structure would likely occur over an extended period, barring any major external factors that could accelerate change.
