Zip code 60029 in Golf, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The community has a median income of $163,285 and a population of 718 residents. The demographic composition has remained stable over the past decade, with minor shifts towards increased diversity.
From 2013 to 2022, Golf maintained its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population decreased slightly from 84% in 2013 to 79% in 2022. The Asian population fluctuated, starting at 11% in 2013, dropping to 4% in 2017-2018, and returning to 10% by 2022. The Hispanic presence remained consistent at 3-5% throughout the decade. The Black population and those identifying as two or more races experienced slight increases but remained small minorities.
The median income in Golf fluctuated but remained high, peaking at $180,392 in 2018 and settling at $163,285 in 2022. The population grew modestly from 610 in 2013 to 718 in 2022, indicating a slow but steady increase in the community's size. This growth, combined with the maintained high income levels, suggests the area continues to attract affluent residents who fit the existing demographic profile.
Golf's demographic and economic trends contrast with many national trends towards increased diversity and income inequality. The area has maintained its homogeneous composition while many urban and suburban areas across the United States have seen significant increases in diversity over the past decade.
The community's high median income and slow population growth suggest it may be an exclusive area, possibly with strict zoning laws or limited housing availability that maintains its current demographic and economic status. This pattern is not uncommon in small, wealthy enclaves near major metropolitan areas, where property values and community characteristics tend to be carefully preserved.
In conclusion, Golf shows minor signs of increasing diversity but remains an example of a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." Its economic prosperity and demographic stability over the past decade indicate a community that has largely resisted broader national trends towards increased racial and economic diversity. This stability may present advantages in terms of community cohesion and challenges related to inclusivity and representation of diverse perspectives.
