The area has maintained a consistent racial composition over the past decade, with white residents comprising 95% of the population in the most recent year.
From 2013 to 2022, Beaverton has consistently been classified as Low Diversity and White Majority. The white population has remained above 90% throughout this period, with minor fluctuations. A slight decrease to 90% occurred in 2018, but it returned to 95% by 2021.

The median income has fluctuated over the years without a clear trend. It reached its highest point at $49,862 in 2018, coinciding with the year of highest Black representation (8%). The population reached its lowest point that same year at 706 residents. There is no apparent strong correlation between demographic shifts and economic changes.
The population has shown a general declining trend from 1,291 in 2013 to 717 in 2019, with a slight recovery in recent years to 923 in 2022. This population decline does not appear to have a clear relationship with income changes or minor demographic shifts.
Beaverton's demographic composition differs from the increasing diversity observed in many parts of the United States. The persistent Low Diversity and White Majority status suggests it may be a more rural or isolated community that has not experienced the same demographic shifts seen elsewhere.
The fluctuating median income and declining population could indicate economic challenges in the area, possibly related to limited job opportunities or other factors encouraging outmigration. However, the slight population recovery in recent years might suggest some stabilization or potential for growth.
In conclusion, Beaverton has experienced minor demographic and economic fluctuations over the past decade but has largely maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The lack of significant demographic shifts and the fluctuating economic indicators suggest a relatively stable, though potentially economically challenged, small town environment.
