Economic changes have occurred despite stable racial demographics. The median income increased from $62,443 in 2013 to $72,667 in 2022, peaking at $79,765 in 2021. This represents a 16% increase over the decade, outpacing inflation for much of this period. The population declined slightly from 1,207 in 2013 to 1,173 in 2022, suggesting increased affluence without attracting or retaining new residents.

Burnett's demographic stability contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity. The increase in median income aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The slight population decline may indicate that Burnett is not experiencing the same level of growth as some other small communities or suburban areas.

The persistent "Low Diversity" classification of Burnett, combined with its rising median income, suggests a community that may be attractive to a specific demographic seeking a homogeneous environment with improving economic prospects. This analysis highlights the complex interplay between racial demographics, economic factors, and population dynamics in small American communities.
