The trends observed in Bourbonnais align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The gradual increase in the Asian population and those identifying as two or more races is consistent with national trends of growing diversity in previously homogeneous communities. The steady increase in median income also aligns with national economic recovery and growth patterns following the 2008 recession.
Bourbonnais remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." However, subtle demographic shifts and steady economic growth suggest a community that is slowly evolving. These changes, while gradual, may be laying the groundwork for more significant demographic shifts in the future, potentially moving the community towards a more diverse profile in the coming decades.
