The Asian population briefly appeared at 1% from 2019 to 2020, but has since returned to 0%. The "Two or More Races" category has fluctuated between 0% and 2% over the years, indicating a slight increase in multi-racial representation.
The median income in Winthrop has fluctuated over the past decade. It peaked at $69,206 in 2013, decreased to $65,404 in 2015, gradually increased to $71,471 in 2021, and slightly decreased to $67,260 in 2022. Despite these fluctuations, the overall trend shows a relatively stable economic situation, with the median income generally remaining within the $65,000 to $71,000 range.
The population has also shown fluctuation. It decreased from 1,378 in 2010 to 1,252 in 2014, increased to 1,421 in 2019, and slightly decreased to 1,282 in 2022. These population changes do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts or income fluctuations.
The lack of significant racial diversity in Winthrop contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The median income has remained relatively stable and is likely above the national median, which was around $67,000 in 2020. The population stability, with only minor fluctuations, may indicate that Winthrop has not experienced the rapid growth or decline seen in some other small cities across the United States.
Winthrop presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white, middle-class community that has experienced only minor demographic and economic shifts over the past decade. While there are hints of very slow diversification, the community remains categorized as "Low Diversity" throughout the observed period. The economic stability suggests a resilient local economy, though it may also indicate limited economic growth or transformation.
