The area has maintained its "Low Diversity" status throughout the 2010s. The white population has consistently remained above 75%, ranging from 88% to 98%. From 2013 to 2016, the white population increased from 88% to 98%, indicating a trend towards lower diversity. Since 2016, there has been a slight decrease in the white population percentage to 94% by 2022, suggesting a minor trend towards increased diversity.

The economic trajectory of Eldorado Springs has been volatile over the past decade. The median income increased from $70,041 in 2013 to a peak of $125,211 in 2018. Since then, there has been a sharp decline to $65,322 in 2022, representing a nearly 48% decrease in four years.
The population of the zip code has fluctuated significantly. It peaked at 134 residents in 2016 and declined to 67 in 2022, a 50% reduction. This population decrease coincides with the drop in median income, suggesting a possible exodus of higher-income residents or a broader economic downturn affecting the area.
The correlation between demographic and economic trends is not immediately clear. The community has maintained its low diversity status throughout both economic upswings and downturns. The slight increase in diversity in recent years coincides with the decrease in median income, which could indicate that the area is becoming more accessible to a wider range of residents.
The economic volatility and population decline in Eldorado Springs are likely atypical for most communities. The extreme fluctuations in median income and population for such a small community suggest that it may be particularly sensitive to individual household changes or local economic factors.
The persistent lack of diversity in this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. However, the recent slight increases in diversity, albeit small, might indicate that Eldorado Springs is beginning to follow broader national patterns, albeit at a much slower pace.
Eldorado Springs remains a "Low Diversity" community with a predominantly white population. It has experienced significant economic volatility and population decline over the past decade. These changes may be setting the stage for future demographic shifts, but as of now, the community's racial composition remains relatively stable despite these economic fluctuations.
