Annapolis, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the city has a population of 687 and is predominantly white (94%), with a small Hispanic population (2%) and individuals of two or more races (4%). The median income in 2022 was $36,710, which is lower than the national median income.
Over the past decade, Annapolis has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. From 2013 to 2017, the community was entirely white. In 2018, a small Hispanic population (1%) emerged. By 2022, the Hispanic population grew to 2%, and individuals of two or more races increased to 4%. These changes represent a slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, though the community remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
The economic landscape of Annapolis has been volatile over the past decade. Median income peaked in 2015 at $60,268. A decline occurred between 2016 and 2018, with the median income dropping to $32,954. There was a brief recovery in 2020-2021, reaching $55,789. However, 2022 saw another drop to $36,710. These economic fluctuations coincide with population changes. The population declined from 818 in 2010 to a low of 632 in 2015, then rebounded to 812 in 2019, before declining again to 687 in 2022.
Annapolis's demographic composition differs from national averages. The United States as a whole has been trending towards greater diversity, with non-Hispanic whites making up about 60% of the population nationally. Annapolis's 94% white population is considerably higher than the national average. The economic volatility experienced by Annapolis also contrasts with broader national trends.
Based on the observed trends, Annapolis is likely to continue its slow diversification process. However, it is unlikely to transition out of the "Low Diversity" category in the near future. The community might be classified as a "Transitional Community" if the Hispanic population and those of two or more races continue to grow steadily over the next 5-10 years.
Economically, the area appears vulnerable to continued instability. The declining population and fluctuating median income suggest ongoing challenges. Without significant economic development or changes in local industries, the community may struggle to achieve stable growth in both population and income.
In conclusion, while Annapolis remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, it shows early signs of demographic change. These changes are occurring against a backdrop of economic instability, which may influence the pace and nature of future demographic shifts. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for understanding the evolving nature of this small Illinois community.
