Keyesport's demographic makeup is not typical of the broader United States, which has been trending towards greater diversity over the past decade. The community's persistent low diversity suggests it may be relatively isolated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more urban or suburban areas.
The income fluctuations could be related to broader economic trends such as the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic volatility experienced by the community does not appear to have significantly impacted its racial composition, suggesting that other factors such as geographic isolation or local cultural factors may play a more significant role in maintaining the current demographic profile.
