The racial composition of Terre Hill has remained stable compared to many areas in the U.S. that have experienced more significant demographic shifts over the past decade. The substantial increase in median income from 2013 to 2019, followed by a sharp decline, suggests local economic factors at play. This could be related to changes in local industry, employment opportunities, or broader economic trends affecting small communities. The recent population decrease could be indicative of broader trends affecting small towns in Pennsylvania or the United States, such as urbanization or changes in local economic opportunities.
Terre Hill has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community over the past decade. It has experienced significant economic fluctuations and a recent population decline. These changes, particularly the economic volatility, may have implications for the community's future development and demographic composition. The subtle increases in diversity, though small, could potentially indicate the beginning of a longer-term trend towards a more diverse community, albeit at a very slow pace.
