Zip code 60108 in Bloomingdale, Illinois, is classified as a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 66% of the total, while Asian and Hispanic populations represent 15% and 12% respectively. The median income in 2022 was $88,412, indicating a relatively affluent area.
Over the past decade, Bloomingdale has maintained its "White Majority" status while gradually increasing in diversity. The white population decreased from 73% in 2013 to 66% in 2022, while other racial groups experienced modest increases. This trend suggests a slow transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification.
The Asian population increased slightly from 13% to 15% over the decade, while the Hispanic population grew more significantly from 9% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. These changes indicate that Bloomingdale could be categorized as a "Transitional Community," slowly moving towards greater diversity.
The median income in Bloomingdale has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $78,763 in 2013 to $88,412 in 2022. This growth has not been consistent, with a peak of $97,039 in 2019 followed by a decline to $86,978 in 2020, likely due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The income has since rebounded slightly but remains below the 2019 peak.
The economic changes appear to correlate with the demographic shifts. As the community has become more diverse, it has also become more affluent overall, despite recent fluctuations. This suggests that the increasing diversity may be partially driven by higher-income minorities moving into the area.
Population trends show a slight decline from 23,536 in 2013 to 23,473 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This relative stability in population, combined with increasing diversity and rising median income, suggests a gradual turnover in the community rather than rapid growth or decline.
The trends observed in Bloomingdale align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many suburban communities across the United States have experienced similar demographic shifts, with growing Asian and Hispanic populations in particular. The economic resilience of the area is also consistent with trends seen in many affluent suburbs.
The rate of change in Bloomingdale appears to be more gradual than in some rapidly diversifying suburbs, particularly those near major metropolitan areas. The community's ability to maintain its "White Majority" status while slowly increasing in diversity suggests a more controlled transition than some areas that have experienced rapid demographic shifts.
Bloomingdale represents a community in slow transition, moving gradually from a predominantly white, affluent suburb to a more diverse, but still affluent area. This measured pace of change may allow for smoother integration and adaptation of community services and cultural norms to meet the needs of a changing population.
