Vernon has experienced economic fluctuations despite the lack of significant demographic changes. The median income increased from $52,479 in 2013 to $63,616 in 2022, a 21% increase over the decade. This growth was not linear, with a sharp increase between 2017 and 2019, followed by a significant drop in 2020, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the median income has fluctuated, settling at $63,616 in 2022.

The population of Vernon has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 188 and 270 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the persistent racial homogeneity, suggests that economic changes are likely due to shifts in local economic conditions rather than demographic changes.

The racial composition of Vernon is significantly less diverse than the national average. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population in the United States was about 59.3%, compared to Vernon's 97%. The median household income in Vernon ($63,616 in 2022) is relatively close to the national median household income of approximately $70,784 in 2021. The stability of Vernon's racial composition over the decade contrasts with national trends, which have shown increasing diversity in many areas of the United States.

Vernon represents a small, predominantly white community that has maintained its low diversity status over the past decade. While it has experienced some economic growth and fluctuations, particularly in median income, these changes have not been accompanied by significant demographic shifts. This stability in racial composition, coupled with economic changes, suggests that the community's evolution is primarily driven by local and national economic factors rather than changing demographics.
