This demographic stability has been accompanied by economic growth, as evidenced by rising median incomes and a growing population. These trends suggest that the area may be increasingly attractive to affluent white residents, potentially due to local economic opportunities or quality of life factors. The lack of increasing diversity runs counter to broader national trends towards greater racial and ethnic diversity in many communities.
