From 2013 to 2022, Carmel has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community. There have been minor shifts within this classification. Between 2013 and 2018, the neighborhood showed indications of moving towards "Moderate Diversity". The white population decreased from 81% to 66%. The Asian representation increased from 5% to 16%, and the Black representation rose from 6% to 9%. From 2019 to 2022, a reversal occurred. The white population increased back to 82%, returning the neighborhood to the "Low Diversity" category. These shifts suggest a brief period of increasing diversity, followed by a trend back towards homogeneity.

The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. As diversity increased from 2013 to 2018, the median income showed moderate growth from $83,942 to $100,115. The return to "Low Diversity" from 2019 to 2022 coincided with a sharp increase in median income, rising from $103,013 to $124,786. This pattern suggests that the neighborhood's increasing homogeneity may be linked to rising property values and cost of living, potentially pricing out more diverse populations.
