The median income in Shabbona has increased substantially over the past decade, rising from $55,266 in 2013 to $81,383 in 2022, representing a 47% increase. This growth in median income correlates with the slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population. The improving economic conditions may have attracted a more diverse population to the area, albeit in small numbers.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 864 and 1,045 residents over the decade. The stability in population coupled with rising incomes suggests that the community has experienced economic growth without significant demographic upheaval.

The trends observed in Shabbona appear to differ from broader national trends towards increasing diversity. Many rural areas across the United States have experienced population decline and economic challenges, but Shabbona has maintained a stable population while significantly increasing its median income.

The slow pace of diversification in Shabbona, despite economic growth, might suggest that the community has barriers to entry for diverse populations, whether these are economic, cultural, or related to available housing stock. The slight increase in diversity, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population, aligns with national trends of increasing Hispanic populations in rural areas, albeit at a much slower pace in Shabbona.

In conclusion, Shabbona has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade, but its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The slow increase in the Hispanic population and the substantial rise in median income suggest the potential for future demographic shifts, but as of now, the community remains relatively homogeneous compared to national trends towards increasing diversity.
