As the community became more diverse, the median income generally trended upward, suggesting that the influx of different racial groups may have brought new economic opportunities or reflected broader economic improvements in the area.

The trends in Eastlawn reflect broader patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States. The increasing Hispanic population aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic communities in many U.S. cities. The declining proportion of Black residents could be indicative of gentrification processes seen in many urban neighborhoods, where historically Black communities experience demographic shifts. The overall increase in median income, despite fluctuations, suggests that Eastlawn may be part of a broader trend of urban economic development and possibly gentrification.

Eastlawn has transformed from a predominantly Black community with relatively low diversity to a moderately diverse neighborhood with a Hispanic plurality over the past decade. This demographic shift has been accompanied by overall economic growth, as reflected in rising median incomes. These changes likely reflect broader urban trends of increasing diversity and economic development, potentially bringing both opportunities and challenges to long-term residents of the neighborhood.
