The white population has decreased from 65% in 2013 to 52% in 2022, while the Asian population has increased from 28% in 2013 to 39% in 2022. The area is showing signs of increasing diversity with small but growing representations of Hispanic, Black, and multiracial populations.

The demographic changes correlate with economic trends. The median income has risen from $121,189 in 2013 to $132,278 in 2022, an increase of about 9%. Despite the overall upward trend, there have been significant fluctuations, with peaks in 2018 ($142,859) and 2021 ($146,217).
The overall population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 6,928 in 2013 to 6,992 in 2022. This suggests that the demographic shifts are primarily due to changes within the existing community rather than large-scale migration.
The increasing diversity in Albertson aligns with broader trends of growing diversity in American suburbs, particularly those near major metropolitan areas like New York City. The significant increase in the Asian population is consistent with national trends of Asian-American population growth, particularly in affluent suburban areas.
With a median income well above $100,000, Albertson remains an affluent area, likely attracting highly educated professionals, possibly connected to industries in nearby New York City. The gradual nature of the demographic shift might indicate generational changes, with younger, more diverse residents moving in as older residents move out or pass on.
Albertson represents a transitional, affluent suburban community that is gradually moving from a predominantly white area to one of greater diversity, particularly with Asian population growth. This transition has occurred alongside continued economic prosperity, suggesting a harmonious integration of new residents into the community's socio-economic fabric. The area's evolution reflects broader national trends of increasing suburban diversity and the growing economic influence of Asian-Americans in high-income communities.
