The trend towards increased diversity in Aroma Park, albeit slow, aligns with broader national patterns of growing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The rise in median income is consistent with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The decrease in overall population, despite rising incomes, may reflect broader trends of population shifts from smaller towns to urban areas or may be unique to this specific community.
Aroma Park remains a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority", but it shows signs of gradual transition. The increasing Hispanic population and growing median income suggest a community in slow but steady change.
