The zip code 60541 in Lisbon, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 91% white, with a median income of $93,278 in 2022. This analysis examines demographic and economic trends from 2013 to 2022.
Lisbon has maintained its "Low Diversity" status throughout the observed period. The white population has consistently remained above 91% of the total population, indicating minimal demographic change over the past decade. However, subtle shifts have occurred, including a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 5% to 6%, and a doubling of residents identifying as two or more races from 1% to 2%. The Black population has maintained a 1% representation since 2015.
The median income in Lisbon has shown an upward trend, increasing from $78,778 in 2013 to $93,278 in 2022, representing an 18.4% growth. This economic improvement has occurred alongside minor increases in diversity. The population grew from 3,279 in 2013 to 3,250 in 2022, with a peak of 3,637 in 2019.
The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization of Lisbon contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The median income growth in Lisbon outpaces the national average over a similar period. The stability of the racial composition, particularly the high percentage of white residents, is less common in many suburban areas near major cities.
Lisbon represents a stable, predominantly white community with strong economic growth over the past decade. While there are slight indications of increasing diversity, these changes are minimal and have not significantly altered the community's demographic makeup. The area's economic prosperity may be a factor in both maintaining its current population and potentially attracting a slightly more diverse group of residents.
As we move forward, it will be interesting to see if these subtle trends towards increased diversity continue or accelerate, potentially shifting the community towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the future.
