From 2013 to 2022, Saybrook Manor has maintained its status as a White Majority community. Between 2013 and 2016, the community exhibited Low Diversity, with white population exceeding 80%. From 2017 to 2019, there was a transition towards Moderate Diversity, with the white population dropping to 74-80% and increases in Asian and multiracial populations.

The median income in Saybrook Manor has shown considerable volatility. From 2013 to 2015, there were high median incomes above $118,000, coinciding with low diversity. Between 2016 and 2020, there was a significant decline in median income, dropping to around $90,000-$98,000 as diversity slightly increased. In 2021, there was a sharp increase to $124,102, aligning with a return to lower diversity. In 2022, there was another decline to $92,104, despite the dramatic population increase.
These economic fluctuations appear to correlate somewhat with changes in racial composition, suggesting that periods of higher diversity coincided with lower median incomes, while periods of lower diversity aligned with higher incomes.
The demographic stability of Saybrook Manor contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While many urban and suburban areas across the U.S. have seen growing minority populations and increased diversity over the past decade, Saybrook Manor has maintained its predominantly white composition.
The income volatility in Saybrook Manor is noteworthy, especially given Connecticut's reputation as one of the wealthiest states in the U.S. The sharp population increase in 2022, coupled with a lower median income, might indicate an influx of more diverse, middle-income residents, potentially altering the community's socioeconomic landscape.
While Saybrook Manor has shown resistance to significant demographic changes over the past decade, recent population growth and income fluctuations suggest the community may be on the cusp of more substantial shifts. The coming years may reveal whether this coastal Connecticut neighborhood will align more closely with national diversity trends or maintain its distinct demographic character.
