The median income in Fishing Creek has fluctuated over the decade. It peaked in 2013 at $71,078 and reached its lowest point in 2017 at $49,760. The period of highest Hispanic representation (2013-2015) coincided with higher median incomes. As the community became more homogeneous in terms of race, there was an initial drop in median income, followed by a recovery and stabilization around the $60,000-$70,000 range in recent years.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 69 and 100 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the persistent racial homogeneity, suggests a community resistant to significant demographic change.

The demographic makeup of Fishing Creek contrasts with broader national trends towards increasing diversity. While many urban and suburban areas across the United States have seen growing minority populations and increased racial diversity over the past decade, this small Maryland community has maintained its predominantly white composition.

The median income has generally remained above the national median household income. This suggests that despite its small size and lack of diversity, Fishing Creek maintains a relatively stable economic status.

Fishing Creek represents a small, economically stable community that has resisted the national trend towards increased racial diversity over the past decade. While there are minor indications of slow change, such as the slight increase in the Black population, the overall character of the community as a "Low Diversity" area has remained constant. The economic fluctuations do not appear to be strongly correlated with the minor demographic shifts, suggesting that local or regional economic factors may have more influence on income levels than racial composition in this particular case.
