Groton's slow diversification aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. However, the pace of change in Groton appears slower than national averages. The economic fluctuations, particularly the peak and subsequent decline in median income, may reflect broader economic trends such as the recovery from the 2008 recession and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In conclusion, while Groton remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," there are signs of a gradual transition towards increased diversity. This change, coupled with economic fluctuations, suggests a community in slow transition, potentially influenced by broader national demographic and economic trends. The stability of the population indicates that these changes are occurring within the existing community rather than through significant migration patterns.
