Population trends have been relatively stable. The population was 2,133 in 2013, peaked at 2,172 in 2014, and decreased to 2,001 by 2022. The stability in population, combined with rising incomes, suggests a community that is becoming more affluent without significant demographic change.
The trend of increasing median income aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The persistent lack of diversity in Altura contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The stability of the population suggests that Altura has not experienced the rapid growth or decline seen in some other small cities across the country.
Altura presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community that has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade without substantial demographic change. There are hints of very gradual diversification, but the area remains categorized as "Low Diversity" throughout the period examined. The economic prosperity does not appear to have led to significant demographic shifts, suggesting a community that is growing wealthier in place rather than experiencing major population changes.
