As of 2022, 96% of the population identifies as white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The median income in 2022 was $59,058, indicating a moderate increase over the past decade.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Port Trevorton has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." No significant transitions between diversity categories have occurred. The white population has remained above 96% throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations.

The median income has shown a general upward trend, rising from $49,155 in 2013 to $59,058 in 2022, an increase of about 20% over nine years. This growth outpaces inflation for the same period, suggesting a real increase in economic well-being for the community.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 2,980 and 3,373 residents over the past decade. This stability in population, combined with the increasing median income, suggests a relatively steady local economy without major disruptions or rapid growth.
Port Trevorton's demographic makeup is notably less diverse than the United States as a whole. The income growth in Port Trevorton appears to be in line with or slightly above national averages for the same period, indicating relative economic health for the community.
Based on the observed trends, Port Trevorton is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" in the near future. The slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races might continue, potentially leading to a very gradual increase in diversity over time.
Economically, if current trends continue, a continued moderate increase in median income can be expected. However, the relatively stable population suggests that dramatic economic changes are unlikely unless influenced by external factors.
Given the extremely gradual nature of demographic changes observed, it is unlikely that Port Trevorton will transition into a new category in the immediate future. However, if the trend of increasing multiracial identification continues and accelerates, the community might eventually move towards the "Transitional Community" category, albeit over a much longer timeframe than the data currently suggests.
Port Trevorton presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with gradual economic improvement and very slow demographic change. While not reflective of broader national trends towards increased diversity, it represents a type of community that remains common in many parts of rural America.
