The white population comprises 81% of the total, indicating a predominantly white community. However, demographic shifts have been observed over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Baltic has maintained its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population decreased from 90% in 2013 to 81% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, showing the most significant growth among minority groups. The population identifying as two or more races grew from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. Other minority groups, including Black, Asian, and Native American populations, showed slight increases but still represent small percentages.
The median income in Baltic has shown overall growth, increasing from $73,435 in 2013 to $82,953 in 2022, a 12.9% increase. From 2013 to 2019, median income remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $71,859 and $74,390. A significant increase occurred from 2019 to 2021, with median income rising to $89,345. In 2022, there was a slight decline to $82,953.
The trend of increasing diversity in Baltic aligns with broader national trends of growing minority populations in previously homogeneous communities. The income growth in Baltic outpaces the national average, which saw about a 7% increase in median household income from 2013 to 2022 (adjusted for inflation). The Hispanic population growth in Baltic mirrors the national trend of Hispanic population increase, though at a more accelerated rate in this community. The increase in residents identifying as two or more races also reflects a national trend.
Baltic remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, but shows signs of gradual demographic shifts and economic growth. These changes, if continued, could lead to increased diversity and potentially reshape the community's socio-economic landscape in the coming years. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising median income suggests that these demographic changes may be contributing positively to the local economy.
