Guilford Center's demographic composition and high median income differ from the national average. The area's slow diversification suggests it may be a more insulated community, possibly due to factors such as housing costs, local policies, or established community dynamics.
The area's median income of $112,761 in 2022 is significantly above the national median household income of approximately $70,784 in 2021. This disparity highlights the affluent nature of the community and may contribute to its demographic stability and low diversity.
Guilford Center remains a predominantly white, affluent community with low diversity, despite showing signs of gradual diversification. The slow change in racial composition and consistently high median incomes indicate a stable, economically prosperous area relatively insulated from broader demographic shifts observed in other parts of the country. Future observations will determine whether these gradual changes in diversity accelerate or if the area maintains its current demographic and economic characteristics.
