Zip code 56652 in Leonard, Minnesota, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, comprising 89% of the total. The current median income is $62,546, and the population stands at 322, indicating a small, rural community.
Over the past decade, Leonard has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 75%, ranging from 89% to 94%. However, there are subtle indications of increasing diversity. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Native American population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2% and 4%. Asian and Hispanic populations have maintained a minimal presence, rarely exceeding 1% each.
The median income in Leonard has shown a general upward trend over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, median income increased from $49,910 to $62,546, representing a 25% growth. A notable spike occurred in 2021, with median income reaching $70,990, before decreasing in 2022. This overall income growth has occurred alongside minor fluctuations in population, which peaked at 383 in 2015 and has since declined to 322 in 2022.
The persistent "Low Diversity" status of Leonard contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The growth in median income aligns with broader economic recovery trends post-2008 recession, though the recent decline from 2021 to 2022 might reflect pandemic-related economic challenges. The small population and rural nature of the community suggest it may be less affected by rapid demographic changes often seen in urban areas.
Leonard remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. Subtle shifts in racial composition and steady economic growth indicate a community in slow transition. The increasing proportion of multiracial residents and the overall income growth suggest potential for further diversification in the future, albeit at a much slower pace than might be observed in more urban or populous areas.
