Wainscott remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", but there are subtle indications of increasing diversity. The area has experienced substantial economic growth, potentially making it a desirable location for affluent residents from various backgrounds. However, the high cost of living implied by the median income may also be a barrier to significant diversification. The community appears to be in a state of gradual transition, balancing its traditional demographic makeup with slow but noticeable shifts towards greater diversity.
