Over the past decade, Leadore has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained the dominant racial group, consistently above 88%. The Hispanic population showed a gradual increase from 2% in 2013 to a peak of 10% in 2017, before stabilizing around 6-8% in recent years. In 2021-2022, small percentages of Asian, Pacific Islander, and multi-racial residents have been recorded.
The median income in Leadore has fluctuated significantly over the decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was a substantial increase in median income from $34,837 to a peak of $51,025 in 2018. However, from 2019 to 2022, there was a sharp decline in median income, dropping to $38,921. The population has shown variability, ranging from 512 in 2021 to 760 in 2012.
The period of income growth (2013-2019) coincided with a slight increase in Hispanic population. The recent decline in income (2019-2022) occurred while the racial composition remained relatively stable, suggesting broader economic factors may be driving recent economic trends.
The low population density and predominantly white demographic is typical of many rural areas in the United States, particularly in states like Idaho. The significant fluctuations in median income, especially the recent decline, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by rural communities. The gradual increase in Hispanic population and the recent emergence of other racial groups, while still minimal, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, even in traditionally homogeneous rural areas.
While Leadore remains a "Low Diversity" community, there are subtle signs of demographic change. The economic situation appears volatile, with recent trends indicating challenges that may impact the community's future development and potentially influence further demographic shifts.
