From 2013 to 2022, Lowry has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has consistently remained above 96% throughout this period. Minor shifts towards increased diversity have occurred, including the emergence of a small Asian population (1%) in 2017 and a small Black population (1%) in 2018. The population identifying as two or more races has grown from 0% in 2014 to 2% by 2022.
The median income in Lowry has shown an upward trend over the past decade, increasing from $65,968 in 2013 to $75,871 in 2022, with a peak of $87,442 in 2021.

The peak population of 806 in 2017 coincided with a significant increase in median income to $70,031. The slight increase in diversity has occurred alongside this economic growth, potentially indicating that the area's economic opportunities may be attracting a small number of diverse residents. However, the white majority has been maintained throughout this period of economic improvement.
Lowry's demographic composition is significantly less diverse than the national average. Many urban and suburban areas across the United States have been experiencing increasing diversity over the past decade, often categorized as "Moderate Diversity" or "High Diversity". Lowry's minimal change in racial composition suggests it may be somewhat isolated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more urban or populous areas.
The steady economic growth in Lowry aligns with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the lack of significant demographic change in response to this growth is notable and may reflect factors such as the area's rural nature, limited immigration, or cultural factors that have maintained the existing community composition.
In conclusion, while Lowry has experienced economic growth over the past decade, its demographic composition has remained stable, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The minimal shifts towards increased diversity have not been substantial enough to significantly alter the community's racial makeup or socio-economic character.
