Over the past decade, Clarksville has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 97% in 2014 to 90% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady trend towards increased diversity. There has been a gradual increase in the Asian population, from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown fluctuations, peaking at 4% between 2017-2019, and settling at 2% in 2022.
The "Two or More Races" category has seen significant growth, from 0% in 2015-2018 to 6% in 2022, suggesting an increase in multiracial families or individuals. While these changes are relatively small, they indicate a slow transition towards slightly more diversity, though the community remains firmly in the "Low Diversity" category.
The median income has shown an overall positive trend. From $56,506 in 2013 to $67,818 in 2022, representing a 20% increase over nine years. There was a notable jump in median income between 2018 ($61,729) and 2019 ($68,102), coinciding with the period of highest Hispanic representation. The income peaked in 2021 at $70,429 before slightly decreasing in 2022.
Population has fluctuated over the years, with a general upward trend from 2,132 in 2013 to 2,505 in 2022, representing a 17.5% increase. This growth could be attracting more diverse residents and potentially contributing to the slight increase in diversity.
The gradual increase in diversity, albeit small, aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in many communities across the United States. The steady increase in median income over the decade is a positive economic indicator, potentially reflecting broader economic growth in the region or state. The growth in the "Two or More Races" category is consistent with national trends, as multiracial identities become more common and accepted.
Despite these changes, Clarksville remains significantly less diverse than many urban areas in Michigan and across the nation, maintaining its character as a predominantly white, rural community. While Clarksville shows signs of very gradual diversification and economic growth, it remains a relatively homogeneous community. The changes observed over the past decade suggest a slow transition towards slightly more diversity, but the area would need to see much more significant shifts to move out of the "Low Diversity" category. The economic growth and population increase may continue to attract a more diverse population in the future, potentially leading to further demographic changes in the coming years.
