The 25.7% income growth over nine years outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, suggesting real economic gains for the community. The population decrease in Canyon Creek contrasts with the overall population growth in Montana, which has been one of the fastest-growing states in recent years.
Canyon Creek remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area. However, subtle shifts in racial composition and significant changes in income and population suggest a community in gradual transition. The increasing proportion of multiracial residents and the rising median income, coupled with population decline, indicate a changing rural community, potentially reflecting broader demographic and economic shifts in similar rural areas across the United States.
