The demographic shifts in Desert Hot Springs correlate with changes in median income. In 2013, the median income was $35,143. From 2019 to 2021, there was a significant increase in median income, rising from $37,374 to $45,516. This coincided with the period of most rapid growth in the Hispanic population.

The city's population grew from 30,101 in 2013 to 35,725 in 2022, an increase of about 18.7%. This growth may have contributed to the changing racial dynamics and economic landscape of the city.

The demographic shifts in Desert Hot Springs reflect broader trends seen in many parts of California and the southwestern United States, where Hispanic populations have been growing rapidly. The economic growth seen in recent years is noteworthy, as it differs from trends often associated with demographic shifts towards minority-majority status.

Based on observed trends, Desert Hot Springs is likely to continue solidifying its status as a "Majority-Minority" community with a strong Hispanic majority. The Hispanic population may continue to grow, potentially approaching or exceeding 70% in the coming years.

Economically, if the recent trend of income growth continues, the city could see further improvements in its median income. This could lead to a situation where the city maintains its "Majority-Minority" status while potentially transitioning into a more economically prosperous category.

The slight decrease in median income from 2021 to 2022 (from $45,516 to $43,617) should be monitored. If this represents the beginning of a new trend rather than a temporary fluctuation, it could impact the economic trajectory of the city.

In terms of diversity, while the city is becoming less diverse due to the growing Hispanic majority, it may still maintain elements of its "Moderate Diversity" status with significant White and Black populations. The city could potentially transition into a new category that reflects both its strong Hispanic majority and its retained diversity among other groups.
