Over the past ten years, Westphalia has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with the white population consistently exceeding 95%. Minor changes in other racial groups have occurred, including a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 1% to 2% between 2013 and 2020, before returning to 1% in 2022. The Native American population appeared in the data from 2014 onwards, maintaining a 1% representation until 2020.

The median income in Westphalia has shown a significant upward trend.

This represents a total increase of 34.8% over nine years, suggesting substantial economic growth in the area.

The stability of Westphalia's racial composition contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The significant increase in median income (34.8% over nine years) outpaces the national average income growth, which typically ranges from 2-3% annually. The lack of significant demographic change despite economic growth is unusual, as economic prosperity often attracts a more diverse population in many areas.
Westphalia presents a case of economic growth without corresponding demographic diversification. This pattern suggests a community that has experienced economic benefits while maintaining its traditional demographic composition, potentially indicating strong local ties and limited external migration influences.
