Stillwater's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The economic growth aligns with broader patterns of income increases seen in many parts of the country over the past decade.

Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Stillwater will maintain its Low Diversity categorization in the near future. The slight increases in Hispanic and multi-racial populations could potentially signal the beginning of a gradual shift towards more diversity. If this trend continues and accelerates, the community might transition into a Transitional Community category over the next decade or two.

Economically, the consistent upward trend in median income suggests continued growth is likely. This economic improvement could potentially attract more diverse populations to the area, which might eventually lead to a shift towards Moderate Diversity in the long term.

Significant demographic changes in small communities like Stillwater often occur slowly unless there are major external factors such as changes in local industries or housing policies. The current data suggests that while economic changes have been notable, demographic shifts have been minimal, indicating a community that is economically dynamic but demographically stable.
