From 2013 to 2022, Milton Mills has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 94%. There have been minor fluctuations in the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races, ranging from 2% to 5%.

The median income in Milton Mills has shown significant volatility over the past decade. It increased from $45,029 in 2013 to $65,521 by 2017, then spiked to $108,022 in 2018 before declining to $67,860 in 2019. Since then, it has fluctuated between $65,200 and $74,660. These economic fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with demographic changes.

The persistent "Low Diversity" status of Milton Mills contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. While many urban and suburban areas have seen growing minority populations and increased racial mixing over the past decade, this small New Hampshire community has maintained a highly homogeneous racial composition.
The economic volatility experienced in Milton Mills, particularly the sharp income spike in 2018, is unusual and may reflect local economic events or changes in the small sample size rather than broader economic trends. The current median income of $65,200 is slightly below the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021.
Milton Mills presents a picture of demographic stability in terms of racial composition, coupled with economic volatility. While the community has remained overwhelmingly white over the past decade, it has experienced significant fluctuations in median income. The recent appearance of a small Hispanic population may be worth monitoring in future years to see if it represents the beginning of a trend towards greater diversity in this small New Hampshire community.
