Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Carpenter has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population has remained above 85% throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations. There has been a slight increase in the Hispanic population, from 9% in 2013 to 10% in 2022, with a peak of 11% in 2020-2021. Since 2019, there has been a small but noticeable presence of individuals identifying as two or more races (1-2%). Black and Native American populations have also appeared in the data since 2021, albeit in very small percentages (1% each in 2022).
The median income in Carpenter has shown significant volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, the median income grew from $62,345 to $102,302, representing a 64% increase. Post-2019, there have been notable fluctuations. The median income dropped to $84,109 in 2020, rose to $92,109 in 2021, and then decreased again to $88,123 in 2022. Despite recent volatility, the overall trend shows a substantial increase in median income over the decade, with the 2022 figure being 41% higher than in 2013.
These economic changes do not seem to have a direct correlation with the minor demographic shifts observed. The community has maintained its racial composition despite significant economic growth and recent fluctuations. Population growth has been steady, increasing from 1,546 in 2013 to 2,001 in 2022, a 29% increase. This growth might be attributed to the area's economic prosperity, potentially attracting new residents while maintaining its racial homogeneity.
This rural Wyoming community has maintained its demographic composition. This stability in racial makeup, despite economic growth, may be characteristic of rural areas in states like Wyoming, which tend to have less diverse populations compared to national averages. The economic growth observed in Carpenter, especially from 2013 to 2019, outpaced national averages for median income growth. However, the recent volatility might reflect broader economic uncertainties affecting rural communities across the United States.
In conclusion, while Carpenter has experienced significant economic changes and steady population growth over the past decade, it has remained a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The subtle increases in minority populations, though small, may indicate the early stages of a very gradual diversification process, which could become more pronounced in future years if current trends continue.
