Frenchtown maintained its predominantly white demographics with only minor shifts, which is less common in many parts of the U.S., especially in more urban or suburban areas. The median income growth from 2016 to 2021 outpaced national averages, suggesting a period of strong economic growth. However, the decrease in 2022 might indicate economic challenges or adjustments.
In conclusion, Frenchtown experienced some economic fluctuations and gradual demographic shifts over the past decade. It largely maintained its character as a high-income, low-diversity area with a strong white majority. The community shows signs of slow transition towards slightly more diversity, but these changes are minimal compared to more rapidly diversifying areas in other parts of the country.
