Over the past decade, St. Paul has maintained its "Moderate Diversity" status, but with observable changes. The white population decreased from 54% in 2013 to 52% in 2022.

The median income in St. Paul grew from $49,469 in 2013 to $67,725 in 2022, representing a 37% increase over a decade. This economic improvement correlates with the gradual diversification of the population, potentially indicating an association between increased diversity and economic growth in the city.
The trends in St. Paul align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban areas and growing income levels in major cities. The steady growth in the "Two or More Races" category reflects national trends of increasing multiracial populations.
Based on observed trends, St. Paul is likely to continue its trajectory towards increased diversity. Predictions suggest the city may transition into a "High Diversity" category within the next 5-10 years. The white population may fall below 50%, potentially shifting the city to a "Majority-Minority" status. Economic growth is likely to continue, with median income potentially reaching or exceeding $75,000 within the next 5 years if the current rate of increase persists.
St. Paul may be categorized as a "Transitional Community" in the coming years if the growth in multiracial and minority populations accelerates, signaling a more rapid shift in demographic composition. These predictions suggest that St. Paul is on a path towards becoming a more diverse and economically prosperous city.
