Racial Distributions
Bayview Heights in Proctor, Minnesota, exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile, with a predominantly White population of 93% in 2022. The neighborhood has maintained this racial composition over the past decade. The median income in Bayview Heights was $65,566 in 2022, representing a middle-class suburban community. Proctor is known as the "Home of the Rails" due to its historic connection to the railroad industry.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Bayview Heights has consistently fallen under the Low Diversity category, with the White population comprising over 90% of residents. There has been a slight decrease in the White population from 98% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. By 2022, Black and Native American populations each reached 2%, and those of two or more races increased to 3%. These changes suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity, though not enough to shift the neighborhood out of the Low Diversity category.
The median income in Bayview Heights has fluctuated over the years. It peaked in 2013 at $73,328 and reached its lowest point in 2022 at $65,566. This represents a decrease of about 10.6% over the decade. The economic decline has not significantly altered the racial composition. The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 4,390 in 2013 to 4,360 in 2022. This stability, combined with the consistent racial composition, indicates a well-established community with low mobility.
Bayview Heights' demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many suburban areas. The slight decrease in median income may reflect broader economic challenges faced by small, industrial-heritage towns in the Midwest. The emergence of small but growing minority populations, particularly in recent years, might align with national trends of increasing diversity in previously homogeneous communities.
Bayview Heights remains a Low Diversity community with a strong White majority. Subtle shifts in both demographics and economics are evident. The neighborhood is experiencing a very gradual diversification and some economic pressures, potentially reflecting broader regional and national trends. The overall stability in population and racial composition suggests a community with strong local ties and limited external influences on its demographic makeup.
