Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Triumph has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population has remained above 70% throughout, with a slight decrease from 81% in 2013 to 81% in 2022. The Hispanic population showed an increase from 16% in 2013 to 24% in 2017, but this trend reversed after 2017, dropping to 7% in 2018 and gradually increasing to 12% by 2022.

The period of rapid income growth from 2013 to 2017 coincides with the increase in the Hispanic population. The sharp decline in both income and Hispanic population after 2017 indicates a potential outmigration of these residents.
The significant population decline in Triumph aligns with broader trends of rural depopulation seen in many parts of the United States. The extreme fluctuations in median income are unusual and may indicate the presence of a small number of high-earning individuals whose arrival or departure can significantly impact the community's economic statistics. Despite some fluctuations, the overall demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity.
Triumph presents a case of a small, rural community experiencing significant economic volatility while maintaining relative demographic stability. The community's small size makes it susceptible to dramatic statistical changes based on the movement of just a few individuals or families. These trends highlight the challenges faced by small rural communities in maintaining economic stability and attracting or retaining diverse populations.
