Over the past decade, Chazy has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." From 2013 to 2022, the white population has remained above 90%, with only slight fluctuations. There has not been a significant transition between diversity categories during this period.

The "Two or More Races" category has seen a slight increase, from 0% in earlier years to 3% in 2022. The Black population, previously not represented, showed a small presence of 1% in 2022.

The median income in Chazy has shown an overall upward trend from 2013 to 2022, with some fluctuations. It rose from $67,040 in 2013 to a peak of $83,990 in 2018.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 2,400 and 2,800 residents over the decade.
The maintenance of a strong white majority alongside rising median incomes suggests that the economic benefits have largely accrued to the dominant racial group. The slight increase in diversity has not significantly altered the economic landscape of the community.
Chazy appears to be resisting the trend of increasing diversity seen in many areas, particularly in urban and suburban settings. Its demographic stability is more characteristic of rural, less populous areas that often see less demographic change over time. The economic growth in Chazy, as evidenced by the rising median income, aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the area's median income has consistently remained above national averages, indicating a relatively prosperous community.
Chazy presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with above-average incomes. While there are very slight indications of increasing diversity, these changes are minimal and have not significantly altered the community's demographic or economic character over the past decade. The area's resistance to major demographic shifts, combined with its economic stability, suggests a community that has maintained its traditional composition while benefiting from broader economic growth trends.
