Zip code 60022 in Glencoe, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The area is predominantly white (92%) with a median income of $153,685. This affluent Chicago suburb has maintained a population of approximately 8,700 residents over the past decade.
Throughout 2013-2022, Glencoe has consistently been categorized as "Low Diversity," with the white population comprising over 75% of the total. The white population percentage has fluctuated slightly, reaching its lowest point of 87% in 2019 before returning to 92% in 2022. There has been a gradual increase in the representation of other racial groups, particularly Asian and Hispanic populations, though these changes are relatively small.
The median income in Glencoe has shown considerable fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, the median income showed a general upward trend, peaking at $192,568 in 2019. There was a significant drop in 2020 to $155,785, followed by a rebound to $193,533 in 2021, and another drop to $153,685 in 2022. These economic fluctuations do not appear to have a direct correlation with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Glencoe's demographic and economic profile differs significantly from national averages. The median household income in Glencoe is more than double the national average, which was approximately $70,000 in 2021. The lack of racial diversity contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in suburban areas. The stability of the white majority population diverges from the national trend of increasing racial diversity in many suburban communities.
In conclusion, Glencoe has consistently remained a "Low Diversity," high-income community despite minor fluctuations in its racial composition and significant variations in median income over the past decade. The area appears resistant to broader national trends of increasing suburban diversity, maintaining its character as an affluent, predominantly white enclave. The economic fluctuations, particularly the dramatic shifts in 2020-2022, may reflect broader economic events rather than local demographic changes.
