Milan has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade. The percentage of white residents has fluctuated slightly, reaching its lowest point of 90% in 2016 before increasing back to 97% by 2022. The Hispanic population briefly reached 5-6% between 2016 and 2018, potentially indicating the beginnings of a "Transitional Community," but this trend reversed, with Hispanic representation decreasing to 1% by 2022. Other racial groups such as Black, Asian, and those of two or more races have maintained very low representation, never exceeding 3% combined.
The median income in Milan has shown an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $72,138 to $76,723, representing a growth of about 6.4% over nine years. The median income peaked at $81,641 in 2018, coinciding with the period of slightly higher Hispanic representation. Since then, there has been a slight decline and stabilization around $76,000. The population has grown from 3,105 in 2013 to 3,440 in 2022, an increase of about 10.8%.
Unlike many areas in the United States that are becoming more diverse over time, Milan appears to be resisting this trend, maintaining and even slightly increasing its white majority. The median income in Milan is likely above the national average, indicating a relatively prosperous community. This could be a factor in attracting new residents while potentially limiting diversity due to economic barriers. As a village with a population of only about 3,400, Milan may experience less exposure to demographic shifts compared to larger urban areas, which could explain its persistent low diversity.
Milan presents a case of a small, affluent, predominantly white community that has maintained its demographic composition despite broader national trends towards increased diversity. The slight increase in median income and population over the decade suggests a stable, potentially growing community that continues to attract or retain residents of similar racial and economic backgrounds. This stability in racial composition, combined with economic growth, may have implications for local policies, community dynamics, and future development plans in the area.
