North Shore's demographic profile contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While the U.S. as a whole has been moving towards a "Majority-Minority" status, with non-Hispanic whites comprising about 60% of the population as of 2020, North Shore remains predominantly white.
The area's median income ($70,583 in 2022) is above the national median household income (approximately $70,784 in 2021). The recent income volatility, especially the sharp decline in 2022, may reflect broader economic challenges or local economic shifts.
North Shore shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The area has experienced economic fluctuations that do not appear directly linked to its demographic stability, suggesting that local or regional economic factors, rather than demographic shifts, are the primary drivers of economic changes in this community.
