The area maintains a higher percentage of white residents and a significantly higher median income compared to national averages. This suggests that while the community is slowly becoming more diverse, it remains a distinctly affluent, predominantly white suburb.
The stability in both racial composition and high income levels indicates that Cedarhurst may have certain barriers to entry that limit rapid demographic changes. However, the gradual increase in the Hispanic population and overall population growth suggest that the community is slowly evolving.
In conclusion, Cedarhurst shows signs of a "Transitional Community" in terms of its slowly increasing diversity. The changes are gradual and have not significantly altered its character as an affluent, predominantly white suburb. The community's economic resilience indicates a strong local economy that continues to attract and retain wealthy residents, albeit with a slowly diversifying demographic profile.
