Lexington's demographic composition differs from national averages. The U.S. as a whole is generally more diverse, with non-Hispanic whites comprising about 60% of the population. Lexington's high median income also exceeds the national median, indicating a more affluent community than the average American city.

Based on observed trends, Lexington is likely to continue its gradual shift towards greater diversity, though it will likely remain in the Low Diversity category for the foreseeable future. The consistent increase in Asian and Hispanic populations, coupled with the slight decrease in the white population, suggests a slow but steady diversification.

If these trends continue, Lexington might transition into a "Transitional Community" over the next decade or two. This transition would be characterized by a continued decrease in the white population, potentially dropping below 75%; further increases in Asian, Hispanic, and possibly Black populations; and an increase in the "Two or More Races" category as interracial families become more common.

Economically, if the trend of increasing median income continues, it may further attract diverse, highly skilled professionals, potentially accelerating the diversification process. However, this could also lead to gentrification concerns if housing affordability becomes an issue for lower-income residents.

Lexington remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community. Subtle demographic shifts and strong economic growth suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity in the coming years. This evolution will likely bring both opportunities and challenges as the community adapts to a changing demographic landscape.
