The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 135 and 165 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the minor shifts in racial composition, suggests a community experiencing slow, gradual change rather than rapid demographic shifts.

Carman appears to be changing at a much slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The emergence of a small Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities, but the scale of this change in Carman is minimal compared to many other areas.

Based on observed trends, Carman will likely remain a Low Diversity, White Majority community in the near future. If the slow trend of increasing Hispanic population continues, a very gradual transition towards slightly more diversity might occur. It is unlikely that Carman will shift to a new diversity category in the immediate future. If the Hispanic population continues to grow at its current rate, a transition to a "Moderate Diversity" classification might eventually occur, but this would likely take several decades at the current pace of change.

The economic outlook suggests continued stability with potential for slow growth in median income, barring any significant external economic factors. The community's small size and relative homogeneity may contribute to its economic resilience, but also limit opportunities for rapid growth or diversification.
