The income growth in La Grange Park outpaces national averages, suggesting it is becoming increasingly affluent relative to other areas. The slow diversification trend, particularly the growth in Hispanic population, aligns with broader national demographic shifts, though at a slower pace than many urban areas. The stability of the population, combined with rising incomes, suggests La Grange Park may be experiencing gentrification or becoming increasingly attractive to higher-income residents.
La Grange Park remains a "White Majority" community with "Low Diversity," but there are signs of gradual change. The increasing median income and subtle demographic shifts suggest a community in slow transition, potentially moving towards greater diversity in the coming decades if current trends continue. However, the pace of change is moderated by the area's increasing affluence, which may act as a barrier to rapid diversification.
