The median income in Central City has shown fluctuation and growth over the decade. In 2013, the median income was $23,317, and by 2022 it had increased to $34,047, representing a 46% rise. This economic improvement correlates with the demographic shifts, potentially indicating that increased diversity has been accompanied by economic development.

The population has grown from 12,812 in 2013 to 14,100 in 2022, a 10% increase. This population growth, coupled with rising incomes, suggests that the neighborhood is becoming more attractive to a diverse range of residents.

The trends observed in Central City mirror broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban areas. Many U.S. cities have experienced similar transitions, with historically Black neighborhoods seeing an influx of Hispanic and White residents. This often coincides with economic development and gentrification processes.

Central City's median income remains below the national median ($70,784 in 2021). This suggests that while the neighborhood is experiencing positive economic trends, it still faces challenges in terms of overall economic prosperity compared to national standards.

The increase in racial diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, aligns with national demographic trends. The U.S. Hispanic population has been one of the fastest-growing segments nationwide over the past decade.

Central City is undergoing a gradual transition from a predominantly Black neighborhood to a more diverse community, while simultaneously experiencing economic growth. These changes present opportunities and challenges for community cohesion, cultural preservation, and equitable development. As the neighborhood continues to evolve, balancing the benefits of increased diversity and economic growth with the preservation of its cultural heritage will be crucial for its future development.
