The low diversity and relatively small population suggest Millboro is likely a rural area.

Millboro has experienced some minor demographic shifts and significant economic fluctuations over the past decade, but has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The area faces challenges common to many rural communities, including population decline and income volatility. It will be important to monitor if the subtle increases in diversity continue and how they might impact the community's economic and social fabric.
