The "Two or More Races" category has maintained a 1% representation since 2014. These changes, while minimal, could potentially indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community" at an extremely slow pace.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 6,900 and 7,200 residents over the decade. The slight increase in diversity coincides with periods of economic growth, suggesting that economic opportunities may be attracting a small number of diverse residents to the area.
Burton appears to be changing at a much slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The area's high median income and stable population suggest a well-established community that may be resistant to rapid demographic shifts.
The minimal increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the country, but at a much smaller scale in Burton. The stability of the white majority in this zip code contrasts with many suburban areas nationwide that have experienced more significant diversification over the past decade.
Burton shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, affluent community with "Low Diversity." The slow pace of change suggests that any transition towards greater diversity is likely to be a long-term process, barring any significant economic or policy shifts that could accelerate demographic changes in the area.
