The period of slightly increased racial diversity (2015-2019) coincided with a steady increase in median income.

Salvisa's demographic composition differs from national trends. While the United States has been experiencing increasing diversity, with the white population decreasing as a percentage of the total population, Salvisa has maintained a predominantly white population, with a recent increase in the white percentage.

The community's median income remains slightly above the national average, suggesting a relatively prosperous local economy despite its rural setting.
Salvisa represents a rural community that has maintained low diversity and experienced steady economic growth over the past decade. Despite briefly showing signs of increasing diversity, recent years have seen a return to its historically homogeneous demographic composition.
