By 2022, while maintaining a Black majority (69%), there was a significant increase in Hispanic representation (19%) and modest growth in the White population (10%). This shift can be attributed to the growth of the Hispanic population from 5% in 2013 to a peak of 26% in 2021, before settling at 19% in 2022. The White population increased from 4% in 2013 to 10% in 2022, indicating a gradual integration of diverse racial groups.

The median income in Edgemont has shown an overall upward trend with fluctuations. In 2013, the median income was $18,467. It decreased to $16,816 in 2014 but has since shown general growth. By 2021, it reached a peak of $28,122, before decreasing to $20,585 in 2022. This economic trend correlates with the demographic shifts. The initial increase in diversity coincided with a period of economic stagnation from 2013 to 2018. The significant income growth from 2019 to 2021 aligns with the increased representation of White and Hispanic populations, potentially indicating an influx of higher-income residents from these groups. The slight decrease in median income in 2022 might be related to the stabilization of demographic changes.
