Burnet's demographic makeup, with its strong white majority, is less diverse than many urban areas in Texas. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States. The economic growth in Burnet appears to be relatively stable, which could be attractive to new residents and potentially drive further demographic changes in the future.
In conclusion, Burnet remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but there are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The community's economic growth may be a factor in attracting a slightly more diverse population. If these trends continue, Burnet could potentially transition to a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the coming years, though such a shift would require significant acceleration of current trends.
