The demographic shifts in Wilshire have been accompanied by fluctuations in median income. The neighborhood experienced its highest median income in 2015 at $60,047, coinciding with the peak of Hispanic majority. There has been a general downward trend since then, with the median income dropping to $44,748 in 2022.

This economic decline correlates with the increasing diversity of the neighborhood. As the community became more diverse, particularly with the growth of the Asian population and maintenance of a significant Black population, the overall economic profile of the area has shifted. This suggests that newer residents may have lower incomes compared to longer-term residents.

The trends observed in Wilshire reflect broader patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States. The increase in diversity, particularly the growth of Hispanic and Asian populations, aligns with national demographic shifts. However, the economic trajectory of Wilshire diverges from many areas experiencing increased diversity, where economic growth often follows.

The decline in median income despite increasing diversity could indicate larger economic challenges in San Antonio or specific local factors affecting this neighborhood. It is possible that Wilshire is experiencing a form of "middle-class flight," where higher-earning residents are moving out as the neighborhood demographics shift.

Wilshire presents a case study of a neighborhood in transition, moving towards greater racial diversity but facing economic challenges. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether this increased diversity will eventually translate into economic revitalization or if additional support and investment may be needed to boost the neighborhood's economic profile while maintaining its diverse character.
