Cleveland in Illinois presents a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" with a predominant white population of 88% as of 2022. The community has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income rising from $64,545 in 2013 to $87,246 in 2022. This economic prosperity has coincided with a decline in population from 1,830 in 2013 to 1,481 in 2022.
Cleveland has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community throughout the observed period. The white population has decreased from 97% in 2013 to 88% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 2% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. A "Two or More Races" category emerged, reaching 4% in 2022. These changes indicate a slow trend towards greater diversity.
The economic trajectory of Cleveland has been positive. Median income has risen by approximately 35% from 2013 to 2022, outpacing inflation. This income growth has occurred despite a population decrease of about 19% over the same period. These trends suggest that while the community may be becoming smaller, it is also becoming more affluent.
The trends in Cleveland align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas, albeit at a slower pace. The economic growth outpacing population growth is consistent with trends seen in some gentrifying or economically transforming small communities across the United States.
Based on the observed trends, Cleveland appears to be on a trajectory towards continued, but slow, increase in diversity. The community may transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years if current trends persist. Sustained economic growth is likely, as suggested by the consistent increase in median income. Potential population stabilization may occur, as the rate of decline has slowed in recent years. The increasing diversity and economic opportunities may help stabilize or reverse this trend.
Cleveland remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. However, subtle demographic shifts coupled with strong economic growth suggest a gradual transformation. This evolution may lead to a more diverse, affluent, and potentially smaller community in the coming years.
