Over the past decade, Bristol has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The percentage of white residents has slightly decreased from 97% in 2013 to 93% in 2022.

The median income in Bristol has increased from $57,721 in 2013 to $64,337 in 2022, an 11.5% increase over nine years.

The population has grown modestly from 5,167 in 2013 to 5,423 in 2022, an increase of about 5%.
Bristol's demographic composition is less diverse than national averages. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white population in the United States was about 59%, significantly lower than Bristol's 93%. This suggests that Bristol is substantially less diverse than the nation as a whole.
The income growth in Bristol (11.5% over nine years) is lower than the national trend. For comparison, the U.S. median household income grew from $52,250 in 2013 to $70,784 in 2021, an increase of about 35% over eight years.
The slow increase in diversity, particularly in the two or more races category, aligns with national trends of increasing multiracial identification. However, this trend is occurring at a much slower rate in Bristol compared to many other parts of the country.
Bristol remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority, but there are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The economic situation appears stable with modest growth, though not keeping pace with national income growth trends. These patterns suggest a community that is changing slowly, maintaining much of its traditional demographic composition while experiencing gradual economic improvements.
