Over the past decade, Turner Park has maintained its status as a White Majority community, with the white population consistently representing around 68-70% of residents. The Hispanic community has grown from 8% in 2013 to 13% in 2022. The multiracial category has remained relatively stable at around 7-9%.

The neighborhood has experienced substantial economic growth, with median income increasing by about 33% from 2013 to 2022. This trend correlates with demographic shifts. The rise in median income coincides with the growth of the Hispanic population. The stable White Majority combined with income growth might indicate gentrification or overall neighborhood improvement.

Turner Park's trends align with broader patterns observed in many urban areas across the United States. Many previously homogeneous suburban areas have seen increases in diversity, particularly with growing Hispanic populations. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising median incomes is a trend observed in many urban and suburban areas nationwide. While many urban areas are seeing declining white populations, Turner Park's stable White Majority with increasing diversity reflects a more gradual transition.
Turner Park represents a community in subtle transition. While maintaining its White Majority status, it is slowly moving towards greater diversity, particularly with growth in its Hispanic population. This demographic shift, coupled with significant income growth, suggests a neighborhood that is evolving economically while gradually becoming more diverse. These changes align with broader national trends of suburban diversification and economic development in areas experiencing demographic shifts.
