London Mills in Illinois exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" based on current data. As of 2022, the community is predominantly white (99%), with a small representation of individuals identifying as two or more races (1%). The village has a population of 1,427 and a median income of $63,988.
Over the past decade, London Mills has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained dominant, never falling below 92% throughout the observed period. From 2013 to 2019, there was a small but consistent Hispanic presence (3-6% of the population). The community briefly showed signs of becoming slightly more diverse around 2017, with the white population dropping to 92% and the Hispanic population reaching 6%. Since 2020, there has been a trend towards even less diversity, with the white population increasing to 99% by 2022 and the Hispanic population disappearing entirely.
The median income in London Mills has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2017, there was a downward trend in median income, dropping from $56,209 to $48,360. Since 2018, there has been a general upward trend, with the median income reaching a peak of $73,928 in 2021 before dropping slightly to $63,988 in 2022. The period of slightly increased diversity (2015-2019) coincided with lower median incomes, while the recent trend towards less diversity has occurred alongside rising incomes.
Population trends have been uneven, with a general decline from 2013 to 2019, followed by a rebound in recent years. The persistent lack of diversity in London Mills stands in contrast to national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States.
Based on the observed trends, it seems likely that London Mills will continue to be categorized as a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The recent strengthening of the white majority suggests that this trend may persist. However, economic fluctuations and population changes could potentially influence future demographic shifts.
If economic growth continues and attracts new residents, there is a possibility that the community could transition towards slightly more diversity. However, given the strong current trajectory, any such change would likely be gradual. The most probable scenario is that London Mills will remain in the "Low Diversity" category, with the potential for subtle shifts within this classification, such as small increases in Hispanic or multiracial populations.
These predictions are based on historical trends and current data, and unforeseen factors could significantly alter the demographic and economic landscape of the area in the future.
