Tompkinsville's demographic shifts align with broader national trends of growing diversity in many American communities. However, the pace of change in Tompkinsville appears slower than national averages. The median income growth in Tompkinsville has not kept pace with national trends. The U.S. median household income grew from about $52,250 in 2013 to approximately $70,784 in 2021, a more substantial increase than seen in Tompkinsville.
The community's low diversity and slower pace of change could be attributed to its smaller size and potentially more rural setting, as indicated by its proximity to the Withlacoochee State Forest. Such areas often experience slower demographic shifts compared to more urban regions.
In conclusion, Tompkinsville shows signs of gradual diversification and economic growth, but remains a predominantly White, Low Diversity community with modest income levels compared to national averages. The neighborhood's evolution suggests a slow but steady trend towards increased diversity and economic development, though at a pace that lags behind broader national patterns.
