Buda's trends align with patterns seen in growing suburban areas near major cities in Texas. The increasing diversity and stable high incomes are characteristic of expanding suburbs that attract affluent professionals from various backgrounds.
If current trends persist, Buda may shift from a White Majority to a Majority-Minority community within the next 5-10 years. The Hispanic population is likely to continue growing and may become the largest single group. Economically, Buda is likely to maintain its affluent status, though slight fluctuations in median income may occur as the community becomes more diverse.
Buda is most likely to transition from a Moderate Diversity community with a White Majority to either a High Diversity community or a Majority-Minority community within the next decade. This transition depends on whether the growth of minority populations continues at its current pace and whether it attracts a more diverse range of new residents or primarily Hispanic residents.
