The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $55,351, followed by a significant drop in 2022.

The demographic makeup of Schuyler Lake contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. Many urban and suburban areas across the U.S. have seen significant increases in racial diversity over the past decade. The slow pace of diversification in Schuyler Lake is more typical of rural, predominantly white communities, especially in the Northeast. The slight increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of Hispanic population growth, albeit at a much slower rate than seen in many urban areas.
The modest income growth and population decline are consistent with challenges faced by many rural communities nationwide, including limited economic opportunities and outmigration of younger residents to urban areas.
Schuyler Lake remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." Subtle demographic shifts and economic fluctuations hint at the potential for gradual change in the coming years. However, any transition towards increased diversity is occurring at a much slower pace than national averages, reflecting the unique challenges and characteristics of rural communities in maintaining population and attracting diverse residents.
