The stability of Weston's demographic makeup contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the country.
Weston represents a stable, predominantly white community with relatively steady income levels. While there are hints of very gradual diversification, these changes are minimal compared to national trends. The community's economic fluctuations, particularly the dramatic income changes in recent years, may be more reflective of broader economic conditions or local economic events rather than demographic shifts.
