From 2013 to 2022, Winchendon maintained a "White Majority" status, with the white population comprising over 80% of the total. The white population decreased from 91% in 2013 to 84% in 2022.

The median income in Winchendon has shown overall growth with fluctuations. From 2013 to 2019, there was an increase in median income from $73,688 to $88,224, representing a growth of about 19.7%. A decrease to $79,497 occurred in 2020, likely due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2022, the median income had recovered to $78,305, though still below the 2019 peak.
The economic trends loosely correlate with the demographic shifts. As the community has become slightly more diverse, there has been a general upward trend in median income, suggesting that the influx of new residents may be contributing positively to the local economy.
Winchendon is becoming more diverse, but it remains less diverse than Massachusetts as a whole. The slight increase in diversity in Winchendon might reflect broader trends of suburbanization and the movement of diverse populations into traditionally homogeneous areas.
The median income in Winchendon ($78,305 in 2022) is lower than the Massachusetts state median income (approximately $89,026 in 2021), but higher than the national median. This indicates that Winchendon residents are generally well-off compared to the national average, but may have less economic advantage compared to other parts of Massachusetts.
Winchendon remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but shows signs of gradual diversification and economic growth. These trends, if continued, may lead to a more diverse and economically robust community in the future, potentially transitioning from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years.
