Residents identifying as two or more races increased from 6% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, consistent with national patterns of multi-racial identification. These trends suggest a gradual transition towards a more diverse community, though not yet reaching "High Diversity" or "Majority-Minority" status.
The median income in Kiefer has fluctuated significantly over the past decade. It rose from $51,268 in 2013 to $70,783 in 2019, then dropped to around $44,000 in 2020 and 2021, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, it recovered strongly to $72,895, the highest in the recorded period.
The economic shifts do not appear to directly correlate with demographic changes, as the racial composition remained relatively stable during periods of economic volatility. The overall trend of increasing diversity has occurred alongside a general increase in median income over the decade. Population growth has been steady, increasing from 1,440 in 2013 to 1,825 in 2022.
The gradual increase in diversity in Kiefer aligns with broader national trends towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity in suburban and small-town America. The significant Native American population is characteristic of Oklahoma. The economic volatility experienced in 2020-2021 followed by a strong recovery in 2022 reflects national economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery.
In conclusion, Kiefer remains a "White Majority" community with "Moderate Diversity," showing signs of gradual transition towards greater diversity. This demographic evolution, coupled with overall economic growth despite recent volatility, indicates a changing community that is becoming more diverse while maintaining economic strength.
