These economic shifts do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic changes observed.

Marlborough's demographic profile differs significantly from national trends. The United States as a whole has been moving towards greater diversity, with the white population decreasing as a percentage of the total. Marlborough, in contrast, has maintained a very high white population percentage.
The income fluctuations observed in Marlborough may reflect broader economic trends, such as the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Marlborough has experienced economic volatility over the past decade, but its demographic composition has remained stable, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The subtle increases in multiracial residents and temporary presence of Asian residents suggest a very slow trend towards increased diversity, but this change is happening at a much slower pace than national trends would suggest.
