The economic shifts do not correlate strongly with the minimal demographic changes observed. The area has maintained its racial homogeneity despite economic fluctuations. Population trends show a general decline from 723 in 2010 to 531 in 2022, with some year-to-year variations. This overall population decrease has not significantly impacted the racial composition of the area.

The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization contrasts with many parts of the United States that have seen increases in racial and ethnic diversity over the past decade. The economic fluctuations, particularly the rise in median income since 2015, may reflect broader economic trends seen in many parts of the country post-recession. However, the lack of corresponding demographic shifts suggests that economic changes alone have not been sufficient to alter the racial makeup of this community.

Zip code 05736 in Rutland, Vermont, presents a case of demographic stability in terms of racial composition, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" community over the past decade. While there have been notable economic fluctuations, these have not translated into significant demographic changes. This stability in racial composition, despite economic and minor population changes, suggests deeply rooted community characteristics that have remained resistant to broader national trends towards increased diversity.
