In conclusion, Vallersville shows signs of very gradual diversification and steady economic prosperity, but remains a predominantly White, affluent community. The neighborhood's resistance to rapid demographic change, coupled with its economic stability and population growth, indicates a community that has maintained its character in the face of broader national trends towards increased diversity and economic volatility.
