The median income in Parks has fluctuated over the past decade. It increased from $62,458 in 2013 to $71,755 in 2022, representing a 14.9% increase. A significant spike to $105,113 occurred in 2021 before decreasing in 2022. This volatility may be attributed to the small population size, where changes in a few households can significantly impact the overall median.

The population of the zip code has fluctuated, peaking at 187 in 2019 before declining to 140 in 2022. This population decline coincides with the increase in the percentage of white residents, suggesting that the outmigration may have disproportionately affected non-white residents.

The trend towards increasing homogeneity in Parks contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity. The increase in median income aligns with national trends of rising incomes over the past decade. The small population size of this community makes it more susceptible to rapid changes based on the decisions of a few households.

The community's status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" in rural Arizona may reflect broader patterns of racial segregation in rural America. The economic improvements have not been accompanied by increased racial diversity, which is often observed in growing urban and suburban areas.

Parks, Arizona (zip code 86018) has become increasingly homogeneous over the past decade, maintaining and strengthening its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority". While the community has experienced economic growth in terms of median income, it has not undergone the diversification trends observed in many other parts of the country. The small population size renders the area particularly sensitive to demographic and economic changes, potentially explaining some of the volatility observed in the data.
