Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, represents a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 84% of the city's 51,272 residents. The median income in 2022 was $60,496.
Over the past decade, Fond du Lac has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population has decreased from 89% in 2013 to 84% in 2022. The Hispanic population has grown from 6% to 8% during this period. The Black population has increased from 1% to 3%. The Asian population has remained stable at 2% since 2017.
The median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $56,009 in 2013 to $60,496 in 2022, with a peak of $64,735 in 2021. This increase of about 8% over the decade suggests modest economic growth. The population has also grown steadily, from 49,464 in 2013 to 51,272 in 2022, an increase of about 3.7%.
The economic growth appears to have occurred alongside the slight increase in diversity, potentially indicating that the city's economy has been able to accommodate and benefit from a more diverse workforce.
The trends in Fond du Lac align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. However, the pace of change in Fond du Lac appears to be slower than in many other parts of the country, particularly larger metropolitan areas.
Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Fond du Lac will continue its slow transition towards greater diversity over the coming years. While it is unlikely to shift dramatically from its Low Diversity classification in the near future, it may eventually transition to a Moderate Diversity category if current trends continue and accelerate.
Economically, the steady growth in median income suggests a stable economic environment. If this trend continues, it could potentially attract more diverse populations seeking economic opportunities, further contributing to the gradual demographic shift.
Fond du Lac represents a slowly evolving community, maintaining its White Majority status while gradually incorporating more diversity. The economic stability of the area appears to be supporting this gradual change, potentially setting the stage for a more diverse future in the long term.
