The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 1,437 in 2013 to 1,510 in 2022, indicating a small growth of 5.1% over the decade. This stability in population, coupled with income growth, suggests a relatively steady community with improving economic conditions for its residents.

Ligonier appears to be maintaining its homogeneous racial composition. This stands in contrast to broader patterns of increasing diversity seen in many parts of the United States. The income growth in Ligonier, however, aligns with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession.

Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Ligonier will continue to be categorized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority in the near future. The minimal changes in racial composition over the past decade suggest that significant demographic shifts are unlikely in the short term.

The slight increase in Hispanic representation and the presence of a small percentage of residents identifying as two or more races could potentially indicate the beginning of a very slow transition. If this trend continues or accelerates, Ligonier might eventually move towards being categorized as a Transitional Community, albeit at a much slower pace than many other areas in the country.

Economically, if the trend of income growth continues, Ligonier may see further improvements in median income, potentially attracting new residents. This could lead to modest population growth and possibly increase diversity over time, though significant changes would likely take several decades given the current demographic stability.

In conclusion, while Ligonier has experienced economic growth, its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. The community is likely to maintain its Low Diversity, White Majority status in the near future, with the potential for very gradual diversification in the long term.
