The increase in median income correlates with a slight increase in the white population percentage and growth in the two or more races category. This may indicate that economic opportunities have benefited these groups or attracted more diverse, higher-income residents to the area.
The increase in median income in Ravalli exceeds national trends for median household income growth over the same period. The persistent "Low Diversity" status of Ravalli contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas, particularly urban and suburban communities. The small population size of Ravalli makes it susceptible to significant percentage changes based on the movement of few individuals or families.
Ravalli has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" while experiencing notable economic growth and subtle shifts in racial composition over the past decade. The increase in median income and slight population growth suggests increased prosperity while maintaining overall demographic character. The decrease in Native American population and increases in Hispanic and mixed-race residents indicate some demographic change within the existing diversity category.
