Minor fluctuations in diversity occurred, with a slight decrease in the white population from 98% to 90% between 2013 and 2018.

Post-2018, income trends became volatile, declining to $62,594 in 2020, recovering to $73,805 in 2021, and dropping to $61,575 in 2022. The period of increasing diversity (2013-2018) coincided with steady income growth.
Population figures have remained relatively stable, ranging between 430 and 546 over the decade, without clear correlation to diversity or income changes.
Cleghorn's "Low Diversity" status is typical for small, rural Midwestern towns. The median income, even at its peak of $74,872 in 2018, was likely close to or slightly above the national median. Recent income volatility may reflect broader economic uncertainties affecting small communities.
Cleghorn has experienced minor shifts in demographic makeup and significant fluctuations in median income over the past decade. It remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. Economic changes have not substantially altered the racial composition, indicating a stable community structure resistant to rapid demographic change. However, recent income volatility may suggest economic challenges that could potentially influence future demographic trends if sustained over a longer period.
