The median income in Lyons Park increased from $49,030 in 2013 to $72,594 in 2022, representing 48% growth. This growth was not linear, with peaks in 2018 ($72,115) and 2020 ($72,949), and a notable dip in 2021 ($50,667).

Lyons Park presents a case of a neighborhood maintaining its White Majority status while slowly increasing in diversity. Its economic trajectory is marked by overall growth but significant year-to-year variations. The neighborhood's ability to recover from economic decreases, as evidenced by the 2021-2022 recovery, may be a key factor in its demographic stability.
