Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Gibsonia has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population percentage has remained between 93% and 97%. There has been a slight increase in racial diversity, particularly in the Asian and Two or More Races categories.

The economic landscape of Gibsonia has seen growth over the past decade. Median income has increased by approximately 31% from 2013 to 2022. There was a spike in median income in 2020 and 2021, reaching $134,121 and $160,021 respectively, before adjusting to $109,464 in 2022. This economic growth has occurred alongside a decrease in population, from 5,257 in 2013 to 4,232 in 2022.
The increasing median income suggests growing affluence in the community, which may be attracting higher-income residents while potentially pricing out some lower-income residents, contributing to the slight population decrease.
Gibsonia's economic growth outpaces national trends. The U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022, adjusted for inflation, while Gibsonia's grew by 31%. This suggests that Gibsonia is becoming increasingly affluent relative to national averages.
The community's low diversity contrasts with national trends, where many suburban areas are experiencing increasing racial diversity. However, the slight increase in Asian and multiracial residents aligns with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in traditionally white suburbs.
Gibsonia remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community that has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. The subtle increases in minority populations, coupled with strong income growth, suggest a community that is slowly evolving while maintaining its core demographic characteristics. These trends may have implications for local policies, housing affordability, and community dynamics in the coming years.
