Declo's demographic composition does not reflect the increasing diversity trends observed in many parts of the United States over the past decade. The sudden shift towards an increased white majority between 2020 and 2021 could be attributed to various factors, including migration patterns or changes in race reporting or recording methods. The fluctuations in median income, while significant, do not show a clear correlation with changes in racial composition, suggesting that local economic factors may have a more significant impact on income than demographic shifts in this area.
In conclusion, Declo has largely maintained its status as a low-diversity, white-majority community over the past decade, despite experiencing some fluctuations in racial composition and economic indicators. The most notable shift occurred in recent years with an increase in the white population percentage, contrary to national trends towards increased diversity. Further investigation into local economic and social factors would be necessary to fully understand the drivers behind these demographic and economic changes.
