The income growth in the area (19.5% over nine years) outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, indicating real economic growth. This trend could be attracting new residents and potentially contributing to the slight increase in diversity.
Apple Canyon Lake remains a "Low Diversity" community, but there are signs of gradual change. The economic growth and subtle demographic shifts suggest a community that is slowly evolving, potentially becoming more attractive to a wider range of residents.
