The stability of racial composition in Strasburg contrasts with national trends, which have generally shown increasing diversity in many communities across the United States. The 31% increase in median income over nine years outpaces the national average income growth rate, which typically hovers around 2-3% annually.
Strasburg represents a stable, low-diversity community that has experienced notable economic growth over the past decade. The lack of demographic change coupled with income increases suggests that local economic factors may be driving prosperity without attracting a more diverse population. This raises questions about the local economic drivers and the community's ability to maintain its growth trajectory in the face of broader national trends towards increasing diversity and urbanization.
