The persistent low diversity in Keowee Key coincides with economic growth. The area's increasing median income and growing population suggest it may be an attractive location for affluent white residents, potentially maintaining its demographic homogeneity through selective migration patterns.

Keowee Key's demographic homogeneity contrasts with national trends, which generally show increasing diversity in many communities across the United States. The area's income growth outpaces national averages, suggesting a prosperous local economy or an influx of wealthy residents. The minimal changes in racial composition, despite economic growth, may indicate that the area has not experienced the kind of economic or policy changes that typically drive demographic shifts in many other communities.

Keowee Key presents a picture of a stable, affluent, predominantly white community that has maintained its demographic character while experiencing economic growth over the past decade. While there are minor indications of increasing diversity in the most recent year, these changes have not yet been substantial enough to alter the community's overall demographic classification.
