There was a significant spike in median income to $92,301 in 2021, followed by a decrease in 2022. The population has grown steadily from 43,855 in 2013 to 46,649 in 2022, an increase of about 6.4%.
The demographic shifts in Attleboro, although slow, align with broader national trends towards increasing diversity in suburban areas. The median household income of $84,026 in 2022 is higher than the national median income. The steady population growth suggests that the area is economically attractive.
Attleboro remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but it shows signs of gradual diversification and economic growth. These trends, if continued, could lead to more significant demographic changes and potentially increased cultural and economic dynamism in the coming years. The pace of change suggests that any major shifts in the community's demographic makeup or economic structure are likely to be gradual rather than abrupt.
