From 2013 to 2022, Lime Ridge has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population has remained above 90% throughout this period, decreasing slightly from 95% in 2013 to 92% in 2022.

The "Two or More Races" category has grown from 1% to 3% in the same period.
These changes indicate a trend towards slightly increased diversity in what remains a predominantly white community. The shifts are gradual and have not altered the overall categorization of the area, but they suggest a slow evolution in the demographic makeup.
The median income in Lime Ridge has shown a positive trend, increasing from $54,853 in 2013 to $69,987 in 2022, representing a growth of about 27.6% over nine years. This growth outpaces inflation for the same period, indicating real economic improvement for the area's residents. The population has also grown during this period, from 2,891 in 2013 to 3,173 in 2022, an increase of about 9.8%. This population growth, combined with rising incomes, suggests that the area has been attracting new residents.
The correlation between demographic shifts and economic trends is subtle but notable. As the community has become slightly more diverse, it has also become more prosperous. This could indicate that the area is attracting a more diverse group of residents, possibly due to economic opportunities or changing social dynamics.
The demographic shifts in Lime Ridge align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in rural areas. Many rural communities across the United States have experienced gradual increases in Hispanic populations and multiracial individuals over the past decade. The economic growth seen in Lime Ridge is also generally consistent with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession.
In conclusion, Lime Ridge remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." Subtle demographic shifts and consistent economic growth over the past decade hint at a gradually evolving community. These changes suggest that the area is slowly becoming more diverse and economically prosperous, potentially setting the stage for more significant demographic and economic shifts in the future.
