The median income in Pulaski Park has shown a declining trend over the past decade, which correlates with the strengthening of the white majority. In 2013, when the neighborhood showed more diversity, the median income was $82,907. As the white population percentage increased, particularly from 2019 onwards, the median income decreased, reaching $60,862 in 2022. This trend suggests that while the neighborhood became less diverse racially, it also became less affluent.

The population has remained relatively stable, ranging from 3,300 to 3,600 residents throughout the decade. This stability in population size, combined with the changing racial demographics and declining income, might indicate a shift in the type of residents rather than a significant influx or outflux of people.

The trends observed in Pulaski Park contradict broader national trends where increasing diversity often correlates with economic growth in urban areas. The neighborhood's shift towards a stronger white majority and simultaneous economic decline is noteworthy and may reflect localized factors such as changes in the local job market or housing affordability issues.

Compared to Chicago as a whole, which has seen increasing diversity over the past decade, Pulaski Park's trend towards less diversity is unusual. This could suggest that Pulaski Park is experiencing a unique set of circumstances driving its demographic and economic changes, possibly related to its historical Polish heritage and the evolving dynamics of ethnic enclaves in urban settings.

Pulaski Park presents a case of a neighborhood that has maintained its white majority status while experiencing economic challenges. The consistent Asian minority presence alongside fluctuating Hispanic populations indicates a community in transition, potentially grappling with issues of gentrification, changing cultural identities, and economic pressures. These trends warrant further investigation into local policies, housing market dynamics, and community initiatives that may be influencing these demographic and economic shifts.
