Ogden remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, with early signs of potential demographic shifts. The area has maintained a relatively high median income compared to national averages, with recent years showing economic growth. These trends suggest a stable community that may be on the cusp of gradual changes in its demographic makeup, potentially influenced by broader national trends towards increased diversity.
