Over the past decade, Hinsdale has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has remained above 94% from 2013 to 2022. Minor changes in racial composition include a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 1% in 2015 to 3% in 2018-2019, before returning to 1% in 2022. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 0% in 2014-2018 to 3% in 2019-2022. The Black population has consistently remained between 0-1% throughout the decade.
The median income in Hinsdale has fluctuated significantly over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was a general upward trend, rising from $49,613 to a peak of $68,359, representing a 37.8% increase. Between 2020 and 2022, the median income experienced substantial volatility, dropping to $56,913 in 2020, rising to $71,097 in 2021, and then declining to $57,524 in 2022.
These economic fluctuations do not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed. The area has maintained its low diversity despite both increases and decreases in median income. Population trends show a gradual decline from 4,078 in 2013 to 3,942 in 2020, followed by a slight increase to 4,007 in 2022. This relative stability in population suggests that major demographic changes are not being driven by significant in-migration or out-migration.
The demographic makeup of Hinsdale appears to be less diverse than the national average. As of 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population of the United States was 59.3%, significantly lower than Hinsdale's 96% white population. The median household income in the United States was $69,021 in 2021, which is higher than Hinsdale's 2022 figure of $57,524. This suggests that despite some years of higher incomes, the area may be facing economic challenges compared to national averages.
Hinsdale represents a relatively stable, predominantly white community with "Low Diversity" that has experienced some economic volatility over the past decade. While there are small signs of increasing diversity, these changes have been minimal and have not significantly altered the overall demographic landscape of the area. The community's economic situation, as reflected in median income, appears to be somewhat volatile and generally below the national average, which could potentially impact future demographic trends if sustained.
