The demographic trends in Ellis reflect patterns seen in many college towns across the United States. The presence of Utah State University likely contributes to a relatively stable white majority, typical of many areas in Utah, but with pockets of diversity brought by international students and faculty. Fluctuations in median income and population may correspond with academic cycles and changes in university enrollment or employment. A higher proportion of Hispanic residents compared to some other Utah communities potentially indicates the neighborhood's role in providing housing for a diverse student and workforce population.
The economic growth seen in Ellis appears to lag behind Utah's overall economic performance in recent years. This could be due to the high proportion of students in the area, who typically have lower incomes.
Ellis maintains its categorization as a Low Diversity, White Majority community, with subtle signs of demographic shifts and economic changes. The neighborhood's connection to the university likely plays a significant role in shaping these trends, creating a dynamic between student populations, local residents, and economic factors.
