Burlington appears to be changing at a slower pace compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The community's high median income suggests it remains an affluent area compared to national averages. The small population size makes the community particularly sensitive to individual household changes.
The gradual increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in the United States. However, the rate of change in Burlington is relatively slow compared to more rapidly diversifying areas.
Burlington remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but there are early indications of a potential transition towards greater diversity. The economic fluctuations and declining population suggest a community in flux. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understanding the long-term demographic and economic trajectory of this small Illinois community.
