The median income in Harrisburg showed an overall upward trend, rising from $39,720 in 2013 to $46,479 in 2022, an increase of about 17%. This growth was not linear, with a significant jump between 2019 and 2021, peaking at $48,968 in 2021 before slightly declining in 2022. The population remained relatively stable over the decade, with a slight increase from 49,392 in 2013 to 50,055 in 2022.

The trends observed in Harrisburg align with broader patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States. The increase in Hispanic population and the growth of multiracial identities are consistent with national demographic trends. The economic growth, while modest, also reflects a general trend of slow but steady recovery and growth in many U.S. cities following the 2008 financial crisis.

Based on the observed trends, Harrisburg is likely to continue its trajectory as a "Transitional Community" moving towards greater diversity. The Hispanic population may continue to grow, potentially reaching parity with the African American population in the coming years. The increase in individuals identifying as multiracial suggests that Harrisburg might transition into a "High Diversity" category within the next decade if current trends persist.

Economically, the city may continue to see modest income growth, influenced by the changing demographic makeup. The increasing diversity could attract new businesses and investments, potentially accelerating economic growth. This will depend on how well the city manages integration and ensures equitable economic opportunities for all demographic groups.

Harrisburg's evolution from a city with a clear "Black Plurality" to a more diverse "Majority-Minority" community with growing Hispanic and multiracial populations represents a microcosm of broader demographic shifts occurring across many American cities. This transition presents both opportunities and challenges for community cohesion, economic development, and local governance in the years to come.
