Periods of increased diversity seem to correlate with higher median incomes. The peak in median income in 2021 ($175,064) coincided with one of the more diverse years in terms of racial composition. This could suggest that the area is attracting higher-income individuals from diverse backgrounds.
The population has remained relatively stable, growing modestly from 4,907 in 2013 to 4,946 in 2022, an increase of less than 1%. This stability, combined with rising incomes and gradual diversification, indicates a community slowly evolving while maintaining its core character.
The trends observed in Peach Lake are consistent with broader patterns seen in many affluent suburban areas near major metropolitan centers. The gradual increase in diversity, particularly among Asian and Hispanic populations, aligns with national trends of suburban diversification.
The high median income and its growth over the decade suggest that Peach Lake is likely outperforming national averages in terms of household wealth.
