From 2013 to 2022, Reston maintained its "White Majority" status, but showed a trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 57% to 54%, while other racial groups experienced slight increases. This shift indicates a gradual transition towards a more diverse community.

A small "Other" category (1% by 2022) emerged, and the "Two or More" races category increased from 3% to 5%, suggesting a trend towards a more complex racial composition.
The demographic shifts in Reston occurred alongside consistent economic growth. The median income rose from $118,981 in 2013 to $128,894 in 2022, an 8.3% increase. This income growth likely contributed to attracting and retaining a diverse population. The population grew from 27,925 in 2013 to 28,899 in 2022, a 3.5% increase.
The trends in Reston align with patterns seen in affluent suburbs of major metropolitan areas in the United States. The gradual increase in diversity, particularly among Asian and Hispanic populations, reflects national trends of suburban diversification. The maintenance of high median incomes alongside increasing diversity suggests successful integration of new residents without economic decline.
Reston's high median income growth is notable compared to national trends of income stagnation. This growth potentially makes it attractive for upwardly mobile professionals from various racial backgrounds. While Reston remains a "White Majority" community, its gradual shift towards greater diversity and strong economic indicators position it as a "Transitional Community" that may continue to evolve demographically in the future.
