The zip code 60410 in Channahon, Illinois, is classified as a Low Diversity community as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, comprising 85% of the total. The median income of $101,503 indicates an affluent community, exceeding the national average.
Over the past decade, Channahon has maintained its Low Diversity status, with the white population consistently representing over 75% of the total. However, gradual shifts towards increased diversity are evident. The Hispanic population has increased from 5% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The category of "two or more races" has grown from 0% to 3% during this period. A small Black population (2%) has also emerged where there was none previously.
The median income in Channahon has shown overall growth, increasing from $101,019 in 2013 to $101,503 in 2022. This growth has not been linear, with a slight decrease between 2013 and 2018, reaching a low of $97,913 in 2018. A significant increase occurred in 2021, with median income reaching $114,968, before returning to previous levels in 2022.
The population has grown steadily from 9,676 in 2013 to 10,570 in 2022, an increase of approximately 9.2%. This population growth, combined with sustained high median incomes, suggests the area remains attractive to new residents, potentially including those from diverse backgrounds.
The gradual increase in diversity in Channahon aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the pace of change in this community appears slower than in many other suburban areas across the United States.
The consistently high median income, significantly above the national average, indicates that Channahon remains an affluent community. This economic stability may be a factor in both attracting new diverse residents and potentially slowing the pace of demographic change, as high housing costs can limit accessibility for some groups.
The slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, may reflect broader demographic shifts in Illinois and the Midwest. However, the community's racial composition is changing at a slower rate than many comparable suburban areas nationwide, which are often experiencing more rapid increases in diversity.
Channahon remains a Low Diversity, predominantly white community, with early indications of a transition towards greater diversity. This shift, coupled with steady population growth and high median incomes, suggests a community in the early stages of demographic change while maintaining its economic advantages. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these trends accelerate, potentially moving the community towards Moderate Diversity, or whether the current pace of change continues, maintaining the area's Low Diversity status for the foreseeable future.
