Over the past decade, Benedict has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has consistently comprised at least 95% of the total population. Minor signs of increasing diversity include the introduction of Asian residents (1% in 2022) and a small but consistent two or more races population (2% in 2022). The Hispanic population has shown fluctuations, appearing in some years (2% in 2016, 1% in 2020) but not consistently. These minor changes suggest the community may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community," albeit at a slow pace.
The median income in Benedict has shown an upward trend over the past decade. It increased from $63,863 in 2013 to $90,841 in 2022, representing a 42% increase. This growth in median income correlates with a steady increase in population, from 125 in 2013 to 214 in 2022, a 71% increase. The simultaneous growth in population and median income suggests that the area has become increasingly attractive to new residents, possibly due to economic opportunities or quality of life factors.
The population growth rate of 71% over a decade is significantly higher than the national average, which typically hovers around 7-8% per decade. The median household income of $90,841 in 2022 is substantially higher than the national median, which was around $70,000 in the same year. The racial homogeneity of Benedict contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas.
Benedict remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, with subtle indications of increasing diversity. The area has experienced significant economic growth and population increase, which may eventually lead to more substantial demographic changes in the future. The community's economic prosperity and population growth suggest it may be an attractive destination for new residents, potentially setting the stage for increased diversity in the coming years.
