The Hispanic population has doubled from 2% to 4% between 2013 and 2022. The Asian population, while small, has fluctuated between 1% and 4% over the years.

While Weaver remains a "Low Diversity" community, its gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in many American communities. However, the pace of diversification appears slower than national averages.
The economic growth in Weaver is noteworthy, with the median income increase of 20.4% over a decade outpacing the national inflation rate. This suggests a relatively robust local economy, which could be a factor in attracting new residents and contributing to the population growth.
Weaver, as represented by zip code 36277, remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. However, subtle demographic shifts, coupled with steady economic growth and population increase, suggest a slow but consistent trend towards greater diversity. While not dramatic enough to change its categorization, these trends indicate that Weaver may be in the early stages of a long-term transition towards a more diverse community structure, potentially mirroring broader national demographic trends, albeit at a slower pace.
