Over the past decade, Donahue has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity, progressing at a slow rate. The white population percentage has decreased slightly from 96% in 2019 to 88% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant increase, from 1% in 2019 to 9% in 2022.

The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $118,393, with a slight decrease in 2022. Population figures have fluctuated, with a peak of 1,097 in 2017 and a low of 931 in 2022.
The increasing median income correlates with the maintained "White Majority" status, suggesting that the area has remained attractive to affluent white families. The recent increase in Hispanic population coincides with a slight dip in median income from 2021 to 2022, which could indicate the beginning of demographic and economic shifts.
The median income in Donahue ($107,827 in 2022) is likely significantly higher than the national median income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The racial homogeneity of Donahue contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The recent increase in Hispanic population, while still small, aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in various parts of the country.
While Donahue remains a predominantly white, affluent community, there are early indications of demographic shifts that could lead to increased diversity in the coming years. The economic prosperity of the area has been maintained throughout this period, but it will be important to monitor how potential demographic changes might influence economic trends in the future. The community appears to be at the early stages of a transition, and future data will be crucial in determining whether it will evolve into a more diverse and economically varied area or maintain its current characteristics.
