Robbins, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Black Majority". As of 2022, the population is 78% Black and 14% Hispanic. The village has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income increasing from $24,563 in 2013 to $37,169 in 2022. However, it remains a low-income area compared to national averages.
Robbins has maintained its "Black Majority" status from 2013 to 2022. The Black population percentage decreased slightly from 81% to 78%, while the Hispanic population increased from 11% to 14%. The White population remained between 5-8% throughout the decade. These changes indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Robbins has grown consistently over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $24,563, rising to $37,169 by 2022, a 51% increase over nine years. This economic growth correlates with the subtle demographic shifts, possibly indicating that increased diversity might be associated with economic improvements in the area.
The 2022 median income of $37,169 in Robbins is below the national median household income of approximately $70,000 in 2021, suggesting that despite improvements, Robbins remains an economically challenged area. The persistent "Black Majority" status of Robbins is notable in a time when many urban areas are experiencing rapid diversification.
Based on observed trends, Robbins is likely to maintain its "Black Majority" status for the foreseeable future, continue experiencing gradual economic growth, see a slow but steady increase in the Hispanic population, and potentially transition into a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the long term if current trends continue. It may transition into a "Transitional Community" category over the next decade if Hispanic population growth accelerates and economic improvements attract more diverse residents.
Significant changes in local economic policies, housing developments, or regional economic shifts could accelerate these trends, potentially leading to more rapid diversification and economic growth in the future.
