Schererville, Indiana, classified as a "White Majority" community in 2022, has a median income of $85,001. The racial composition of the city shows a 73% white population, indicating a strong majority, but with evidence of increasing diversity over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Schererville maintained its "White Majority" status while gradually transitioning towards greater diversity. The white population decreased from 81% in 2013 to 73% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 11% to 14%, and the Black population grew from 4% to 7% during this period. These changes suggest Schererville is becoming a "Transitional Community" with increasing minority representation.
The median income in Schererville increased from $78,545 in 2013 to $85,001 in 2022, with a peak of $91,210 in 2021. This rise in median income correlates with the growing diversity, suggesting new residents may be contributing to economic growth. The population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 32,000 and 33,000 residents over the decade.
The trends observed in Schererville align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many similar-sized towns across the United States are experiencing comparable demographic shifts, often accompanied by economic growth and changing community dynamics.
Based on observed trends, Schererville will likely continue its transition towards greater diversity over the next decade. If current trends persist, the community may transition from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" category within the next 10-15 years. The Hispanic and Black populations are likely to continue growing, potentially reaching or exceeding 20% and 10% respectively. The white population may potentially drop below 70%.
Economically, if the correlation between increasing diversity and rising median income continues, Schererville may experience further economic growth. However, this growth may moderate as the community becomes more diverse, potentially stabilizing around the $90,000-$95,000 range for median income.
These changes could lead to a more dynamic and multicultural community, potentially attracting more diverse businesses and cultural institutions. However, it will also present challenges in terms of community integration and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all residents.
