The median income has increased substantially over the decade, rising from $41,874 in 2013 to $64,022 in 2022, a growth of over 50%. This economic improvement correlates with the gradual diversification of the community. As the Hispanic population grew, median income also increased. The rise in the multiracial population coincides with periods of higher income growth. The peak median income of $71,360 in 2021 aligns with the highest point of diversity thus far.

The gradual diversification trend in Dayton aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many American communities. The income growth over the decade outpaces national averages, suggesting stronger economic development compared to many other areas. The persistent white majority indicates that Dayton may be diversifying at a slower rate than many urban areas across the country.

In conclusion, Dayton remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" but shows signs of gradual transition. The community is experiencing slow but steady diversification, particularly with growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations. This demographic shift correlates with significant economic improvements, as evidenced by the increase in median income. If these trends continue, Dayton may evolve into a more diverse and economically robust community in the coming years.
