The median income in Temple City has shown an upward trend, increasing from $74,290 in 2013 to $84,187 in 2022, representing a 13.3% growth over the decade. This economic improvement correlates with the increasing Asian majority. The population has remained relatively stable, growing only slightly from 36,762 in 2013 to 36,902 in 2022.

The trend of increasing Asian populations is consistent with broader patterns observed in many California cities, particularly in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. This shift reflects larger immigration patterns and the economic success of Asian Americans in the region.

Based on the observed trends, Temple City will likely continue to strengthen its status as an Asian Majority community. The Asian population may continue to grow, potentially reaching 70% or more in the next decade if current trends persist. Economically, the city is likely to see further increases in median income, potentially surpassing $90,000 within the next five years.

The community may face challenges related to maintaining diversity and inclusivity as it becomes increasingly homogeneous. City leaders may need to implement policies to ensure that the decreasing White and Hispanic populations continue to feel integrated and represented in the community.

Temple City is unlikely to transition to a new category in the near future. It will likely further entrench its Asian Majority status while potentially approaching a Low Diversity classification if the trend continues unabated. This could present both opportunities and challenges for the community moving forward.
