Browns, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the village has a population of 402 with a median income of $59,332. The racial composition is 97% white, with 3% identifying as two or more races.
Over the past decade, Browns has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained above 94% from 2013 to 2022. There was a gradual increase in the white population percentage from 2013 to 2018, reaching 100% in 2018. After 2018, there has been a slight decrease in the white population percentage, with a small increase in those identifying as two or more races.
The median income in Browns has shown overall growth from 2013 to 2022, with fluctuations. There was an increase from $49,046 in 2013 to $66,599 in 2019, representing a 35.8% growth over six years. Since 2019, there has been a slight decline, with the median income settling at $59,332 in 2022. The population has fluctuated between 360 and 444 residents over the decade, showing no clear trend of growth or decline.
The economic improvements from 2013 to 2019 do not appear to have significantly impacted the racial composition of the village. This suggests that the economic growth may have benefited the existing population rather than attracting a more diverse influx of new residents.
Browns is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races since 2018 might indicate the beginning of a very gradual shift towards more diversity. However, this change is currently too small to suggest a transition to a new category in the immediate future.
If the trend of increasing multiracial residents continues and accelerates, Browns might eventually transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" category, but this would likely take many years at the current rate of change. The economic outlook appears stable, with the potential for continued modest growth in median income.
In conclusion, while Browns has experienced some economic improvements over the past decade, its demographic composition has remained notably stable. The community continues to be characterized by low racial diversity, with only minor indications of potential future changes. Monitoring these subtle shifts in the coming years will be crucial to understanding if Browns is at the very beginning of a long-term demographic transition or if it will maintain its current composition for the foreseeable future.
