Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the community has consistently maintained a "White Majority" status. There has been a gradual decline in the white population from 78% in 2013 to 70% in 2022. The Asian population has shown steady growth, rising from 13% in 2013 to 18% in 2022. This increase suggests a trend towards "Moderate Diversity." The Black population has seen significant growth, increasing from 3% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, further contributing to the area's increasing diversity.
The consistent increase in minority populations, particularly Asian and Black residents, indicates that Montgomeryville is becoming a "Transitional Community," gradually moving towards greater diversity. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $98,018 in 2013 to $99,181 in 2022, with notable peaks in 2020 and 2021 (over $129,000).

The population has grown modestly from 1,890 in 2013 to 1,977 in 2022, indicating a stable and potentially attractive community for new residents. The increasing diversity coincides with periods of economic growth, as evidenced by the rising median income. This suggests that the area's growing diversity may be attracting skilled professionals from various backgrounds, contributing to economic prosperity. Despite recent economic volatility (as seen in the 2022 income drop), the community has maintained its population and continued to diversify, indicating resilience and sustained attractiveness to various demographic groups.
The trends observed in Montgomeryville align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The community's high median income suggests it remains an affluent area compared to national averages, potentially making it an attractive destination for skilled professionals from diverse backgrounds. The gradual shift towards greater diversity, coupled with economic prosperity, indicates that Montgomeryville is evolving into a more inclusive and economically robust community.
This transition, while maintaining a White Majority status, reflects a broader national trend of suburban areas becoming more diverse and economically dynamic. The community's ability to attract and retain a growing minority population while maintaining high median incomes suggests a positive integration of diversity and economic growth.
