Edgerton's low diversity contrasts with the increasing diversity trend seen in many parts of the United States over the past decade. The median income fluctuations may reflect broader economic trends, such as the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis followed by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic and multiracial categories, aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic and multiracial populations.
Edgerton remains a "Low Diversity" community, but subtle demographic shifts are occurring. These changes, combined with economic fluctuations, may be slowly altering the community's composition and character. However, the changes are gradual, and it would take sustained trends over a longer period to significantly alter the area's demographic profile.
