The increases in diversity appear to correlate with periods of economic growth. The rise in Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races coincides with the upward trend in median income. This may suggest that the area's economic opportunities are attracting a slightly more diverse population, albeit at a slow rate.

Neola's demographic composition is less diverse than the national average. Many areas in the United States have experienced increasing diversity over the past decade at a faster rate than Neola. The area's persistent "Low Diversity" categorization suggests it may be isolated from broader national demographic trends.

The economic growth in Neola aligns with general post-recession recovery trends seen across much of the United States. The gradual increase in median income and population indicates economic resilience and potential attractiveness to new residents, even though these new residents have not significantly altered the racial composition of the community.

Neola remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority. There are subtle indications of very gradual diversification. These changes, combined with positive economic trends, may suggest the potential for more significant demographic shifts in the future, though such changes are likely to occur slowly based on the observed patterns over the past decade.
