The median income in San Juan has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $37,216 in 2013 to $45,612 in 2022, representing a growth of about 22.5% over nine years. This growth has not been consistent year-over-year. Notable fluctuations include a significant increase from $42,162 in 2018 to $51,579 in 2021, followed by a decrease to $45,612 in 2022. The population has shown modest growth, increasing from 38,783 in 2013 to 41,340 in 2022, a growth of about 6.6% over the decade.

The demographic stability of San Juan is unusual in the context of broader U.S. trends, as many cities across the country have been experiencing increasing diversity over the past decade. The economic growth, while positive, may be lower than national averages, especially considering the high inflation rates in recent years.

Based on observed trends, San Juan is likely to maintain its status as a Hispanic Majority, Low Diversity community in the near future. The slight increase in the white population might continue, potentially leading to a very gradual increase in diversity over time. Economically, if the city can recover from the recent dip in median income and return to the growth trajectory seen in previous years, modest economic improvement might be expected. However, the inconsistency in income growth suggests that economic development in the area may face challenges and fluctuations.

San Juan may not transition into a new demographic category in the immediate future, but it may slowly move towards slightly increased diversity and economic growth. The city's leaders and policymakers should focus on maintaining economic growth while potentially preparing for gradual demographic changes in the long term.
