From 2013 to 2022, Hingham maintained its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population remained above 90% throughout this period, with slight decreases. The white population percentage decreased from 98% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. An "Other" race category emerged, accounting for 2% of the population by 2022. A Hispanic population (1%) was recorded for the first time in 2022.
The median income in Hingham fluctuated and grew overall. From 2013 to 2022, median income increased from $48,020 to $63,688, a 32.6% increase. There was a decrease in median income between 2013 and 2016, reaching $42,211 in 2014. Since 2017, there has been a consistent upward trend in median income.

Hingham's demographic composition is less diverse than the national average. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population was about 59.3% nationally, compared to Hingham's 93%. The median household income in Hingham ($63,688 in 2022) is slightly lower than the national median, which was estimated at $69,717 for 2021 by the U.S. Census Bureau. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in many communities across the United States. The significant income growth over the decade, especially since 2017, suggests economic improvement that outpaces inflation.
Hingham remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, with subtle signs of increasing diversity and significant economic growth. These trends, if continued, could lead to more noticeable demographic and economic shifts in the coming years, potentially transitioning the community towards moderate diversity and improved economic conditions.
