In conclusion, Mount Gilead has experienced positive economic trends over the past decade, but its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged. The community continues to be characterized by low diversity, with a strong white majority. The subtle increases in minority populations, coupled with economic growth, may suggest the potential for more significant demographic shifts in the future, but these changes are currently minimal. Future years will reveal whether these small shifts are the beginning of a more substantial demographic transition or if the community will maintain its current composition.
