Indian Hills has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area over the past decade, with some fluctuations. The community has remained in the "Low Diversity" category throughout most of the observed period, with the white population consistently above 70%. There are indications of a gradual shift towards slightly increased diversity.
The Hispanic population increased from 13% in 2013 to a peak of 21% in 2017, before decreasing to 12% in 2022. The Asian population has shown a gradual increase from 1-2% in earlier years to 4% in 2022.

The median income in Indian Hills has fluctuated over the past decade. There was a general upward trend from $61,271 in 2013 to a peak of $73,873 in 2021. However, 2022 saw a significant drop to $66,845. The periods of higher Hispanic population (2016-2017) coincided with some of the higher median income years.
Population figures have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 5,000 and 5,400 residents over the decade. This suggests that demographic shifts are likely due to changes within the existing population rather than significant in-migration or out-migration.
The community's persistent "White Majority" status is not uncommon in many rural or suburban areas of the United States, particularly in less populous states like Nevada. The fluctuations in median income, especially the recent decline, may reflect broader economic trends. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in many communities across the United States.
Indian Hills remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, with subtle signs of increasing diversity. The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent downturn, may play a role in future demographic shifts. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understanding the evolving nature of this community and its place within broader regional and national demographic patterns.
