There has been a slight decline in population from 4,303 in 2010 to 3,766 in 2022. This could indicate changing family sizes, aging population, or shifts in housing preferences.
The demographic shift in Fox River Grove aligns with broader trends seen in many suburban areas across the United States, where previously homogeneous communities are experiencing increased diversity, particularly with growth in Hispanic populations. The stability of high median incomes despite demographic changes suggests that this community has maintained its economic status. Compared to more urban areas or rapidly growing suburbs, the pace of demographic change in Fox River Grove appears to be gradual, allowing for a more organic integration of new residents.
Fox River Grove remains a predominantly white, affluent community. It shows signs of a gradual transition towards increased diversity, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population. This change has not significantly impacted the economic status of the area, suggesting a relatively smooth demographic transition. If current trends continue, the community may evolve from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years, potentially bringing new cultural influences while maintaining its economic character.
