Toledo, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 98% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this category. The village has a population of 1,205 and a median income of $64,247 as of 2022.
Throughout the decade, Toledo has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has maintained a dominant majority, ranging from 96% to 98% over the years. There have been minimal changes in other racial categories, with the most notable being a slight increase in the "two or more races" category from 0% in 2014 to 2% by 2022.
The median income in Toledo has shown an upward trend over the decade, rising from $40,148 in 2013 to $64,247 in 2022, representing a 60% increase. This economic growth has occurred alongside relatively stable racial demographics. Population figures have fluctuated somewhat, ranging from a low of 1,078 in 2018 to a high of 1,323 in 2013, but have remained relatively stable around 1,200 residents in recent years.
Toledo appears to be maintaining its homogeneous racial composition. This contrasts with broader patterns of increasing diversity seen in many parts of the United States, particularly in urban and suburban areas. The economic growth observed in Toledo aligns with national trends of rising median incomes over the past decade, though the village's growth rate appears to be more pronounced than the national average.
Based on the observed trends, Toledo will likely continue to be categorized as a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The consistent racial composition over the past decade suggests little immediate likelihood of transitioning to a different category. The slight increase in the "two or more races" category could potentially indicate the beginning of a very gradual shift. If this trend continues and accelerates, Toledo might eventually transition into a "Transitional Community" category, but this would likely take many years at the current rate of change.
Economically, if the upward trend in median income continues, it could lead to increased property values and potentially attract new residents. This could, in turn, slowly increase diversity over time, but given the current demographic makeup, any such changes are likely to be gradual. Toledo has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade, while its racial composition has remained stable. The community is likely to remain categorized as "Low Diversity" for the foreseeable future, with any demographic changes occurring at a very slow pace.
