The racial composition of Hudson is less diverse than the national average, with the U.S. being about 59% white (non-Hispanic) in 2021, compared to Hudson's 90%. The slow pace of diversification in Hudson contrasts with faster-changing demographics in many urban and suburban areas across the U.S.
Hudson remains a Low Diversity, predominantly white community, with early signs of increasing diversity. This is occurring alongside significant economic growth, suggesting a gradual shift towards a more diverse, yet still affluent suburban community. However, the pace of change is slow compared to national trends, indicating that Hudson may be in the very early stages of a long-term transition.
