Granville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the white population has remained above 90%, showing only slight fluctuations. There has not been a significant transition between diversity categories during this period.
Minor changes in demographics include a stable Hispanic population of 2-3% throughout the decade, a slight increase in the Native American population from 0% in 2013 to 1% in 2022, fluctuations in the population identifying as two or more races between 1-3%, and a small increase in the Asian population to 1% in 2022. These shifts suggest a very gradual trend towards slightly increased diversity, though not enough to change the overall categorization of the community.
The median income in Granville has shown a general upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $49,153, increasing to $70,700 by 2022. This represents an increase of about 44% over nine years. A substantial jump occurred between 2020 and 2021, from $70,304 to $75,782, before slightly decreasing in 2022.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 685 (in 2010) and 784 (in 2015), with 725 residents in 2022. This suggests that the economic improvements have occurred without significant population growth or demographic changes.
The racial composition of Granville is less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white population in the United States was about 75.8%, significantly lower than Granville's 94%. Granville's 2021 median income of $75,782 was above the national average of $70,784, suggesting a relatively prosperous local economy.
The stability of Granville's racial composition over the decade contrasts with national trends, which have shown increasing diversity in many areas of the country. The significant increase in median income without major demographic changes suggests that economic growth in Granville may be benefiting the existing population rather than attracting new, diverse residents.
Granville has experienced notable economic growth over the past decade, while its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged, maintaining its status as a low-diversity, white-majority community. This stability in racial composition, coupled with economic growth, sets Granville apart from national trends of increasing diversity and may reflect the unique characteristics of small-town North Dakota demographics and economy.
