In contrast, Kittery Point remains overwhelmingly white. The area's income growth likely outpaces national averages.

Kittery Point is a relatively affluent, predominantly white community that has maintained its demographic character while experiencing significant economic growth. The area appears to be resistant to broader national trends of increasing diversity. The rising incomes without significant population growth or diversification could indicate that the area is becoming increasingly exclusive. This trend potentially raises questions about affordability and accessibility for a broader range of residents.
