The median income has fluctuated over the years, peaking at $58,684 in 2015 and reaching a low of $49,872 in 2020. The 2022 figure of $50,971 represents a slight recovery but is still below the peak levels. Despite income fluctuations, the population has grown from 1,369 in 2013 to 1,713 in 2022, a 25% increase. This growth suggests that the area remains attractive to residents despite economic variations.

The gradual increase in diversity seems to coincide with periods of both higher and lower median incomes, suggesting that demographic shifts are not strongly correlated with economic trends in this case. The slow increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, aligns with broader trends of increasing diversity in rural American communities. Despite fluctuations, the median income has remained relatively stable over the decade. The significant population growth in Worden contrasts with many rural areas that have experienced population decline, suggesting that this community may have unique attributes attracting new residents.

Worden remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but subtle demographic shifts are occurring. The community is experiencing a gradual increase in diversity, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population and those identifying as multiracial. These changes, coupled with population growth and relatively stable median incomes, suggest a community in slow transition. However, the pace of change is not rapid enough to fundamentally alter the community's demographic categorization within the analyzed timeframe.
