Zip code 54126 in Greenleaf, Wisconsin, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 89% white, with a median income of $81,934, indicating a relatively affluent area compared to national averages.
Over the past decade, Greenleaf has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently comprised between 89% and 93% of the total. Minor shifts include a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 6% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, and a doubling of individuals identifying as two or more races from 1% to 2% between 2013 and 2022. Other racial groups, including Black, Asian, and Native American populations, have remained at or below 1% throughout the decade.
The economic landscape of Greenleaf has shown significant growth over the past decade. The median income increased from $67,255 in 2013 to $81,934 in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 21.8% over nine years. The population grew from 4,191 in 2013 to 4,506 in 2022, an increase of about 7.5%.
The consistent increase in median income alongside the stable racial composition suggests that the economic growth has primarily benefited the existing white majority population. However, the slight increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations coinciding with income growth might indicate that these groups are finding economic opportunities in the area as well.
The income growth in Greenleaf outpaces the national average inflation rate, indicating real economic gains for the community. The persistent lack of diversity in this community contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The stable growth in both population and income suggests that Greenleaf is a desirable place to live, possibly attracting residents from nearby areas or retaining its existing population effectively.
In conclusion, Greenleaf has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade, while its racial composition has remained largely unchanged, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The subtle increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations, coupled with strong economic growth, may indicate the beginnings of a slow diversification process, but these changes have not yet been substantial enough to shift the community's overall demographic categorization.
