Macedonia, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the village has a population of 822 with a median income of $61,826. The racial composition is entirely white, with 100% of the population identified as such. This homogeneous racial makeup has been consistent over the past decade, indicating a stable demographic profile.
Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), Macedonia has consistently fallen under the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has maintained a dominant presence, ranging from 96% to 100% of the total population. There have been no significant shifts or transitions between diversity categories, suggesting a deeply entrenched demographic structure.
The median income in Macedonia has shown a general upward trend over the past decade. Starting from $55,446 in 2013, it rose to $70,419 in 2021, before slightly decreasing to $61,826 in 2022. This overall increase in median income suggests improving economic conditions for the residents, despite the lack of racial diversity.
Population fluctuations have been notable, with a general declining trend from 926 in 2010 to 574 in 2021, followed by a sharp increase to 822 in 2022. These population changes do not seem to correlate directly with changes in racial composition but may be influenced by economic factors or local policies.
Macedonia's lack of racial diversity is atypical for Illinois as a whole, which is known for its diverse population, especially in urban areas. The economic improvements seen in Macedonia, however, may align with broader trends of economic recovery and growth experienced across many parts of the United States in the post-2008 recession era.
Based on the observed trends, it seems likely that Macedonia will continue to be categorized as a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The consistent racial homogeneity over the past decade suggests deeply rooted demographic patterns that are unlikely to change rapidly.
The recent sharp increase in population from 2021 to 2022 could potentially signal the beginning of demographic changes. If this population growth continues and includes more diverse residents, we might see a gradual transition towards a "Transitional Community" in the coming years. This could be driven by factors such as changing economic opportunities, housing affordability, or shifts in local policies.
Economically, the overall trend of increasing median income suggests continued economic growth for the community. However, the slight decrease in 2022 should be monitored to determine if it's an anomaly or the beginning of a new trend.
Macedonia currently remains a "Low Diversity" community with stable economic growth. The recent population surge could potentially herald the start of more significant demographic and economic changes in the future. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial for understanding the evolving landscape of this small Illinois community.
