This economic growth correlates with the slight increase in diversity, suggesting that the area may be attracting a more diverse population as it becomes more prosperous. However, the predominant white majority has remained stable, indicating that economic growth has not significantly altered the racial composition.

The slow increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic populations in many communities across the United States.
In conclusion, Reinholds remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," despite subtle signs of increasing diversity. The area has experienced steady economic growth and population increase over the past decade, which may be slowly influencing its demographic makeup. However, these changes have been gradual and have not significantly altered the overall racial composition of the community. The area's economic prosperity and stability may be factors in maintaining its current demographic profile while slowly attracting a more diverse population.
