As the Hispanic population slowly increased and other racial groups emerged, the median income generally trended upward. The population grew modestly from 5,590 in 2013 to 5,859 in 2022, suggesting a slowly growing community that may be attracting a slightly more diverse population.
The demographic composition of Glen Rose differs significantly from Texas as a whole, which is known for its greater diversity and larger Hispanic population. The slow increase in diversity aligns with national trends of growing diversity in many communities, although Glen Rose's changes are more modest than those seen in many urban areas. The median income fluctuations may reflect broader economic trends, such as recovery from the 2008 recession and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Glen Rose remains a Low Diversity community with a White Majority, but there are signs of slow demographic changes. These shifts, coupled with generally increasing median incomes, suggest a community that is gradually evolving while maintaining its core demographic character. The economic improvements, particularly in recent years, may be attracting a slightly more diverse population, potentially setting the stage for more significant demographic changes in the future if these trends continue.
