Over the past decade, Sartell has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The percentage of white residents has slightly decreased from 95% in 2013 to 90% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% by 2017-2018, but declined to 2% in 2022. The category of two or more races has shown the most significant growth, from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022.

The median household income in Sartell has fluctuated but generally remained high throughout the decade. It increased from $80,516 in 2013 to a peak of $86,185 in 2017, and settled at $83,674 in 2022. This consistently high median income suggests that the area has maintained its economic attractiveness, potentially influencing the slow pace of demographic change.
Population growth has been steady, increasing from 15,385 in 2010 to 18,594 in 2022, a growth of about 20.9% over 12 years. This growth rate is significant and could be contributing to the gradual increase in diversity, albeit at a slow pace.
The trend of slow diversification in predominantly white suburban areas is common across many parts of the United States. The high median income of Sartell ($83,674 in 2022) is likely above the national average, which was around $70,784 in 2021 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The growth in the multiracial population reflects a national trend, as the 2020 U.S. Census showed a significant increase in people identifying as multiracial across the country.
Sartell remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but there are early indicators of a gradual shift towards becoming a "Transitional Community." The economic stability of the area, reflected in high median incomes and steady population growth, appears to be moderating the pace of demographic change. As the community continues to grow, it will be interesting to observe whether these trends accelerate, potentially leading to a more diverse community in the future.
