Based on the observed trends, it's likely that Maple Park will continue to be categorized as a Low Diversity, White Majority community in the near future. However, the subtle shifts in Hispanic and Black populations suggest a potential for slow diversification. Economically, if the 2022 decrease in median income is an anomaly, the community may return to its upward income trend. However, if it represents a new direction, it could indicate a shift in the local economy or demographic composition.
In terms of the library categories, while Maple Park is likely to remain in the Low Diversity category, there's a possibility of a gradual transition towards Moderate Diversity if the minor increases in minority populations continue and accelerate. This transition would be contingent on sustained growth in Hispanic, Black, or other minority populations, potentially driven by economic opportunities or changing regional demographics.
