The zip code 53521 in Brooklyn, Wisconsin, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The community is predominantly white, with 92% of the population identifying as such. The current median income of $93,326 indicates a relatively affluent area, slightly higher than the national median household income.
Brooklyn has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community over the past decade. However, subtle shifts are occurring. The white population has gradually decreased from 97% in 2013 to 92% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady diversification trend. There is evidence of Brooklyn becoming a "Transitional Community." The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, and the Hispanic population has grown from 2% to 3% in the same period. As of 2020, the community saw the introduction of an Asian population, albeit small at 1%.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic trends. The median income has increased from $86,365 in 2013 to $93,326 in 2022, a growth of about 8% over nine years. The population has grown from 4,500 in 2013 to 4,489 in 2022, a relatively stable trend with minor fluctuations. Despite the overall upward trend, there have been fluctuations in median income, with a peak of $99,738 in 2021 before dropping to $93,326 in 2022.
Brooklyn's demographic shifts, though slow, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The area's median income is significantly higher than the national average, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that Brooklyn remains an economically prosperous community even as it becomes slightly more diverse. The gradual nature of these changes, coupled with economic stability, may indicate a controlled and potentially well-integrated diversification process.
Brooklyn remains a predominantly white, affluent community with "Low Diversity," but shows signs of gradual, steady diversification. This transition appears to be occurring alongside continued economic prosperity, suggesting a positive integration of new residents into the community fabric. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these trends accelerate, potentially shifting the community towards "Moderate Diversity" or maintaining its current demographic character with slight modifications.
