The Hispanic population showed some fluctuation, increasing from 0% in 2013 to 5% in 2020, then decreasing to 2% in 2021, with no data available for 2022. These minor shifts did not substantially alter the overall racial composition or diversity classification of the community.

The economic trends do not seem to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
The persistent low diversity in Hackberry contrasts with national trends towards increasing racial diversity in many areas of the United States. The population decrease between 2020 and 2021 (from 1,235 to 927) may be related to broader economic or environmental factors affecting the region. The median income, while fluctuating, has generally remained above the national poverty line, suggesting the community has maintained a certain level of economic stability.
Hackberry presents a case of a persistently low-diversity community in an era of increasing national diversity. Its racial composition has remained stable despite economic and population changes. This stability in racial demographics, coupled with significant economic and population changes, suggests that local factors play a strong role in shaping this area's demographic profile.
