The slow diversification of White Bear Lake aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The pace of change appears slower than in many similar-sized communities across the U.S. The income growth generally outpaces national averages, suggesting that White Bear Lake remains an economically attractive area.

White Bear Lake is likely to continue its slow transition towards greater diversity. It may remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the near future but could potentially transition into a "Moderate Diversity" community within the next 10-15 years if current trends accelerate. Economically, the area is likely to maintain its affluence, which could attract more diverse, educated professionals.

The relatively stable population numbers suggest that any demographic shifts will likely be gradual unless there are significant changes in local housing or economic policies. White Bear Lake is experiencing a slow but steady diversification while maintaining economic stability. It shows potential for transitioning towards greater diversity in the coming decades.
