The community has seen small increases in Hispanic representation (from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022) and those identifying as two or more races (from 0% to 2%). These changes could indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income in Jefferson Hills has shown a generally upward trend over the past decade, increasing from $61,280 in 2013 to $73,784 in 2022. This represents a growth of about 20% over nine years, outpacing inflation and suggesting improving economic conditions for residents.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 8,500 and 9,000 residents throughout the decade. This stability, combined with the increasing median income, suggests that the area has maintained its attractiveness to residents while gradually becoming more affluent.
The demographic composition of Jefferson Hills contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The economic growth in the area aligns with broader trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 financial crisis. The area's median income is significantly higher than the national median, which was around $70,784 in 2021, indicating that Jefferson Hills is a relatively prosperous community.
The stability in population and slow pace of diversification could suggest that the area is somewhat insulated from larger demographic shifts occurring in more urban or rapidly growing suburban areas. This could be due to factors such as limited new housing development, established community preferences, or the area's specific economic or geographic characteristics.
Jefferson Hills has seen some minor increases in diversity and significant economic growth over the past decade, but remains a predominantly white, affluent area with a stable population. The community shows early signs of potential transition, but any significant demographic shifts are likely to occur very gradually if current trends continue.
