Sciota demonstrates demographic stability within a "Low Diversity" framework, with minor economic fluctuations that have not significantly altered its racial composition or population size over the past decade. This stability may reflect deeply rooted community ties, limited external pressures for change, or a combination of factors that have allowed the village to maintain its demographic character in the face of broader national trends towards increased diversity and urbanization.
