Over the past decade, Idaville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." The percentage of white residents has decreased from 91% in 2014 to 88% in 2022.

From 2018 to 2022, there was a decrease in median income, settling at $64,927 in 2022. This decline coincides with a decrease in population from 5,377 in 2019 to 4,786 in 2022.
The correlation between demographic shifts and economic trends is not strongly evident. The period of increasing diversity (2014-2022) has seen both economic growth and decline, suggesting other factors may be more influential in determining economic outcomes in this area.
Idaville's demographic changes have been minimal compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The slow increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the United States, but at a much slower rate.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the decline post-2018, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by many small communities in the United States. The available data does not provide sufficient regional context to determine if this trend is specific to Idaville or part of a larger regional pattern.
Idaville remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but there are signs of gradual demographic shifts. These changes, combined with recent economic challenges, suggest a community in slow transition. The pace of change indicates that significant demographic shifts are likely to take many years, if not decades, to materialize substantially.
