The zip code 60172 in Roselle, Illinois, is classified as a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The area has a population of 24,087 and a median household income of $95,975, indicating a relatively affluent suburban setting.
Over the past decade, Roselle has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community, with the white population consistently representing over 70% of residents. However, there have been subtle shifts in the racial composition. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has grown from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, indicating a trend towards more mixed-race households. The Asian community has maintained a stable presence, fluctuating between 9-11% of the population over the decade. The Hispanic community has remained relatively constant, representing about 10-12% of the population throughout the period. There has been a notable decrease in the Black population, from 5% in 2013 to 1% in 2022.
The median household income in Roselle has shown a generally upward trend, rising from $86,248 in 2013 to $95,975 in 2022, an increase of about 11.3% over the decade. This growth in income correlates with the stability of the white majority and the slight increase in the Asian population, both of which tend to be associated with higher incomes in many suburban areas. The population has remained relatively stable, with only minor fluctuations, growing from 24,215 in 2013 to 24,087 in 2022.
The demographic trends in Roselle reflect broader patterns seen in many affluent suburbs across the United States. The persistence of a white majority, coupled with a growing Asian population and a stable Hispanic community, is characteristic of many suburban areas that have experienced gradual diversification over the past few decades. The increase in median household income outpaces the national average, indicating that Roselle remains an attractive location for middle to upper-middle-class families. The decrease in the Black population raises questions about housing affordability and potential socio-economic barriers that may be affecting certain minority groups' ability to move into or remain in the area. The growth in the multiracial population aligns with national trends, as the U.S. has seen a significant increase in individuals identifying as two or more races in recent years.
Roselle maintains its character as a predominantly white, affluent suburb, but there are signs of gradual diversification and economic growth. The community appears to be slowly transitioning towards greater racial diversity, particularly with the growth of multiracial residents, while maintaining its economic stability and appeal to middle and upper-middle-class households.
