The zip code 53130 in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The area is predominantly white (82%) with a significant Hispanic population (11%). The current median income is $79,440.
Over the past decade, Hales Corners has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with the white population remaining the majority. However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards becoming a "Transitional Community." The Hispanic population has grown from 4% in 2013 to 11% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has increased from 1% to 3% during this period.
The white population has decreased from 91% in 2013 to 82% in 2022. This trend indicates a slow but consistent diversification of the community, although it remains far from reaching the "Moderate Diversity" threshold.
The median income in Hales Corners has fluctuated but shows an overall upward trend. It increased from $72,040 in 2013 to $79,440 in 2022, representing a 10.3% increase over the decade. Periods of highest income coincided with slight increases in diversity, particularly in the Asian and Hispanic populations.
The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 7,616 in 2013 to 7,584 in 2022, indicating a steady community with minimal outward migration despite demographic changes.
The gradual diversification of Hales Corners aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas, although at a slower pace compared to many other suburbs across the United States. The community has managed this demographic transition without significant economic disruption.
The growing Hispanic population in Hales Corners reflects a nationwide trend of Hispanic population growth and dispersal beyond traditional gateway cities. However, the relatively slow pace of this growth suggests that Hales Corners may not be a primary destination for new immigrants.
In conclusion, Hales Corners remains a predominantly white, upper-middle-class community, but shows signs of gradual diversification. This transition is occurring alongside economic stability and growth, suggesting a managed integration of new demographic groups into the existing community.
