Hartwick's maintenance of a homogeneous racial composition contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The economic growth in Hartwick aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the lack of a corresponding increase in racial diversity suggests that this economic growth may primarily benefit the existing white majority population rather than attracting a more diverse influx of new residents.
Hartwick represents a stable, predominantly white community that has experienced economic growth without significant changes to its racial composition over the past decade. This pattern diverges from national trends towards increasing diversity, particularly in areas experiencing economic growth. Further research into local policies, housing markets, and community attitudes could provide more insight into the factors maintaining this demographic stability in the face of broader national trends towards increased diversity.
