The median income in Oak Grove demonstrated a positive trend, rising from $60,723 in 2013 to $70,694 in 2022, representing a 16.4% increase over nine years.

Oak Grove's gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas, although at a slower pace than national averages. The steady increase in median income over the decade is consistent with national economic trends, particularly the strong economic growth experienced in many parts of the United States prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sharp increase in 2021 followed by a slight decrease in 2022 reflects patterns seen in many communities navigating the economic impacts of the pandemic and subsequent recovery.
Oak Grove remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The subtle signs of increasing diversity have occurred alongside steady economic growth, indicating a stable community experiencing slow but consistent change. The community does not meet the criteria for a "Transitional Community" as defined in the study, but the small increases in minority populations may suggest the early stages of a long-term diversification trend.
