Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Tontogany has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The percentage of white residents has remained stable, ranging from 87% to 94%. There has not been a significant transition between diversity categories, indicating a relatively static racial composition over the past decade.

The population has shown slight variations, ranging from 12 to 18 residents over the years. The current population of 16 in 2022 represents a 33% increase from 2010, though it has fluctuated within this range rather than showing a consistent upward trend.
The community has maintained a high median income throughout the period, consistently above $80,000 and reaching over $100,000 in recent years. This suggests economic stability within the small population.
The high median income in this small, rural community is noteworthy. The persistent low diversity in Tontogany contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the country. The substantial increase in median income over the decade aligns with broader economic growth trends seen in many parts of the U.S. during this period. The consistent racial composition and small population fluctuations suggest a stable community structure.
Tontogany represents a small, economically prosperous, and demographically stable white-majority community. Its economic growth over the past decade has been significant, even as its racial composition has remained largely unchanged. This pattern of economic advancement without demographic diversification presents a case study in rural community development and the factors that influence or inhibit demographic change in small American towns.
