The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 5,765 in 2013 to 6,014 in 2022.
The gradual increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, has occurred alongside a general increase in median income. This suggests that the community has been able to integrate new residents while maintaining economic growth. The stability in population numbers, combined with income growth, indicates that the community has been able to retain its residents and possibly attract new ones without significant displacement.
The trend of slowly increasing diversity in predominantly white communities is consistent with broader national trends, particularly in suburban and rural areas. The income growth observed in Le Sueur is generally in line with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The stability of the population suggests that Le Sueur has not experienced the rapid growth or decline seen in some other small cities, indicating a relatively stable local economy and community structure.
In conclusion, Le Sueur remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." There are signs of gradual demographic shifts, particularly in the growth of the Hispanic population. These changes, coupled with steady economic growth, suggest a community that is slowly evolving while maintaining its overall stability and character. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these trends accelerate towards greater diversity or stabilize at current levels.
