The trend of slight increases in diversity, even in predominantly white rural areas, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity across the United States. The income growth in Brookston outpaces the national average over a similar period. The stability of the population suggests that Brookston is not experiencing the rapid growth or decline seen in some rural areas across the country.
In conclusion, Brookston remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority". There are subtle signs of increasing diversity and economic improvement. These changes, while gradual, may be indicative of broader shifts in rural American demographics and economics.
