The zip code 60014 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 47,489 and a median household income of $96,495, indicating a relatively affluent suburban environment.
Crystal Lake has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" over the past decade. However, subtle shifts suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity. The White population decreased from 83% in 2013 to 80% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 11% to 13%, and the Asian population grew from 2% to 3%. The population identifying as two or more races increased from less than 1% to 3%.
The median household income in Crystal Lake has shown a general upward trend, rising from $92,039 in 2013 to $96,495 in 2022, representing a 4.8% increase over nine years. The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 47,199 in 2013 to 47,489 in 2022, a change of less than 1%.
Crystal Lake's demographic trends align with broader national patterns of slowly increasing diversity in suburban areas, though at a more modest pace. The community's high median income and predominantly white population are characteristic of many affluent suburbs across the United States.
The slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic and Asian populations, reflects national trends of growing minority populations in suburban areas. However, Crystal Lake's changes are less pronounced than those seen in many other suburban communities across the country, which have experienced more rapid diversification.
The area's economic stability and growth in median income suggest that Crystal Lake has remained an attractive location for upper-middle-class families. This economic profile may be influencing the pace of demographic change, as higher property values and living costs can affect who moves into the community.
While Crystal Lake remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," subtle demographic shifts and steady economic growth indicate a slow transition towards greater diversity. If these trends continue, the community may gradually move towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the coming decades, though such a shift would likely occur over an extended period given the current pace of change.
