The median income in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, it remained relatively stable around $60,000-$65,000.

Wallenpaupack Lake Estates is changing at a slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The slight increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national patterns of growing Hispanic communities, but at a significantly reduced scale in this CDP.
Based on observed trends, Wallenpaupack Lake Estates is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. If the gradual increase in Hispanic population continues, a transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification might occur over the next decade or two. This transition would likely involve a gradual decrease in the white population percentage, potential increases in other minority groups, and possible fluctuations in median income.
These changes are likely to occur slowly unless significant external factors, such as major economic changes or shifts in regional migration patterns, accelerate demographic transitions in this relatively small community.
