Subtle signs of gradual diversification include the introduction of a small Black population (1%) in 2021 and 2022, the appearance of a Hispanic population (1%) in 2021 and 2022, and a slight increase in the two or more races category from 0% in 2015-2018 to 1-2% in recent years.

The median household income in Deer Creek has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $76,617 in 2013 to $84,593 in 2022, representing a growth of about 10.4% over nine years. This increase coincides with the maintenance of the area's low diversity status.
The population has fluctuated over the years, dropping from 1,880 in 2010 to a low of 1,589 in 2018, before rebounding to 1,720 in 2022. This population change has not significantly impacted the racial composition or economic status of the area.
Deer Creek maintains its homogeneous demographic composition, contrasting with national trends of increasing diversity. The median household income of $84,593 in 2022 is higher than the national median income, indicating that Deer Creek is a relatively affluent community.
The stability of both the racial composition and economic status of Deer Creek over the past decade suggests that local factors may be playing a role in maintaining the current demographic structure.
