A general downward trend was observed from 2013 ($72,144) to 2017 ($62,971), followed by a recovery and subsequent fluctuations. The population has also varied, decreasing from 900 in 2010 to 735 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. The economic trends do not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Herman's persistent "Low Diversity" status contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The median income, despite fluctuations, has generally remained above the national median income, indicating a relatively stable economic situation despite the small population. The slight increase in diversity, particularly in the "two or more races" category, aligns with national trends of increasing multiracial identification.
Herman exhibits signs of gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The economic fluctuations have not significantly impacted the racial composition. The community appears economically stable but is not following broader national trends towards increased diversity at a significant rate. The recent appearance of Native American representation and the slow growth in multiracial identification may indicate potential future changes, but the community presently remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
