The median income is $67,517, which exceeds the national median household income. Over the past decade, this community has experienced minor demographic and economic changes.
From 2013 to 2022, Baileyville has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently comprised at least 95% of the total. Small changes in racial composition include the emergence of a 3% Asian population from 2018 onwards and the appearance of a 1% Black population in 2017. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races decreased from 2% in 2014 to 0% by 2018. These changes indicate a slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, although the area remains predominantly white.
The median income in Baileyville has fluctuated over the decade. It peaked at $81,150 in 2021 and reached its lowest point at $61,547 in 2019. The overall trend shows a slight increase from $72,192 in 2013 to $67,517 in 2022. The population has grown slightly from 419 in 2013 to 457 in 2022, suggesting a slowly expanding community.
The introduction of a small Asian population coincides with periods of higher median income (2018-2022), potentially linking this demographic change to economic opportunities. However, the "Low Diversity" status of the area has not significantly impacted economic trends, which appear more influenced by broader economic factors than demographic shifts.
Baileyville's racial composition has remained stable in contrast to many other American communities that have experienced more rapid diversification. The median income has generally remained above the national average, indicating a relatively prosperous community. Income fluctuations, particularly the decrease in 2019, may reflect broader economic challenges affecting many small communities across the United States.
In conclusion, Baileyville has experienced minor demographic shifts and economic fluctuations over the past decade. It remains a predominantly white, relatively affluent community with low diversity. The slow pace of change suggests a stable community structure that has been relatively resistant to broader national trends of increasing diversity.
