There has been a slight decrease in the white population percentage, from 98% in 2013 to 94% in 2022, indicating a slow trend towards increased diversity.

The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with some fluctuations. It peaked at 1,813 in 2018 but has since declined to 1,505 in 2022. After a significant drop between 2020 and 2021, the population has stabilized around 1,500 in the last two years.
The low population density (about 27 people per square mile) and predominantly white population are characteristic of many rural areas in the United States. The significant increase in median income over the decade may reflect broader economic recovery trends post-2008 recession, although the sharp increase in 2020 is notable. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, even in traditionally homogeneous rural areas.
Broseley remains a "Low Diversity" area, but subtle demographic shifts and significant economic improvements over the past decade suggest a community in the early stages of transition. These changes, if continued, could lead to more substantial demographic and economic transformations in the coming years.
