Napoleon, Indiana (ZIP code 47034) presents a demographic case study. As of 2022, this community is categorized as "Low Diversity" based on the library of terms, with 100% of the population identified as white. The town's population of 2 individuals in 2022 and median income of $56,524 make it an atypical example for demographic analysis.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Napoleon has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The racial composition has remained exclusively white, with no changes or transitions to other diversity categories observed. This stability in racial composition is influenced by the small population size.
The median income in Napoleon has fluctuated over the years, showing no clear long-term trend. It peaked at $63,811 in 2018 before declining to $56,524 in 2022. These income changes do not appear to correlate with any demographic shifts, as the racial composition remained constant.
The population has decreased from 5 individuals in 2013 to 2 in 2022. This population decline could potentially impact the economic stability and viability of the community.
The demographic stability of Napoleon contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While many U.S. communities are experiencing shifts towards becoming "Transitional Communities" or moving from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity," Napoleon has remained static in its racial composition.
The town's small population makes it an outlier in demographic studies. With only 2 residents as of 2022, minor changes in population or income can result in significant percentage shifts, making trend analysis challenging and potentially less meaningful than in larger communities.
The median income of $56,524 in 2022 is below the national median household income of approximately $70,784 for the same year. However, given the small population, this figure may not be representative of broader economic trends in the region.
Napoleon presents a case of demographic stability in terms of racial composition, coupled with a trend of population decline. The town's small size makes it difficult to draw broader conclusions or compare it meaningfully to larger demographic trends. The economic fluctuations observed do not appear to correlate with demographic changes, likely due to the consistent racial homogeneity of the community. This case study underscores the importance of considering population size when analyzing demographic and economic trends in very small communities.
