The median income growth in Ridgeway over the past decade generally aligns with broader economic recovery and growth trends seen across much of the country following the 2008 financial crisis. The slight decrease in median income from 2021 to 2022 could potentially be related to broader economic challenges faced nationwide.
Ridgeway has remained a "Low Diversity" community over the past decade while experiencing notable economic growth. The stability in racial composition coupled with income improvements suggests a community that has maintained its traditional demographic structure while benefiting from broader economic trends. The subtle increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations, although small, could be early indicators of potential future demographic shifts.
