The economic volatility experienced in Norland, particularly the sharp decline in median income since 2019, may be more pronounced than national averages. The COVID-19 pandemic likely exacerbated economic challenges in the area.
Norland remains a Black Majority community with Low Diversity, but it shows signs of gradual diversification. This transition coincides with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the decline in median income. These trends suggest a community in flux, potentially facing issues of gentrification or economic displacement.
