From 2013 to 2022, Hope has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with the white population consistently above 90%. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, peaking at 5% in 2021. By 2022, 1% of the population identified as two or more races. A small Black population (1%) was present from 2018 to 2020 but not represented in 2021 and 2022. These minor changes suggest a potential for increased diversity in the future.

The median income reached its highest point at $83,381 in 2019, followed by slight fluctuations. The periods of highest income (2019-2022) coincide with years of slightly increased racial diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population.
The population has remained relatively stable, ranging from 466 to 542 residents over the period, with no clear correlation between population changes and economic or diversity trends.
The gradual increase in diversity in Hope aligns with broader trends of increasing diversity in rural American communities, albeit at a slower pace than urban areas. The steady increase in median income suggests economic resilience. Unlike many urban areas where increased diversity often correlates with gentrification and rapid income changes, Hope's gradual shifts suggest a more organic, slow-paced demographic evolution.
Hope remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong white majority. However, subtle shifts in its demographic makeup indicate the potential for increased diversity in the future. The community's economic prosperity, as evidenced by rising median incomes, appears to be occurring alongside these minor demographic changes, suggesting a stable and gradually evolving local economy and social fabric.
