Zip code 61340, representing Mark in Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population consists of 34 residents with a median income of $68,541. This rural community has undergone minor demographic changes and economic fluctuations in the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Mark maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority". The white population consistently represented over 75% of the total population, ranging from 86% to 97% throughout this period. The Hispanic population experienced slight fluctuations, increasing from 4% in 2013 to 10% by 2017, and maintaining this level until 2020. However, this trend reversed in 2021-2022, with the Hispanic population decreasing to 3%.
The median income in Mark demonstrated significant variations over the decade. There was an initial decline from $44,764 in 2013 to $42,555 in 2015. This was followed by a substantial growth period from 2015 to 2018, with the median income reaching a peak of $68,091 in 2018. After a slight decrease in 2019-2020, the median income stabilized around $68,541 in 2022.
The period of highest income growth (2015-2018) coincided with the increase in Hispanic population, suggesting a possible correlation between increased diversity and economic prosperity. However, recent data indicates high income levels maintained even as the community reverted to lower diversity.
Mark appears to be moving against national trends of increasing diversity in recent years. The extreme low diversity and very small population size make this community unique and not necessarily representative of broader national or regional trends. The median income of $68,541 in 2022 is above the national median household income, suggesting that despite its small size and low diversity, Mark is relatively prosperous.
In conclusion, Mark has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority" throughout the decade, experiencing subtle demographic shifts and significant economic fluctuations. The community's ability to maintain and increase its median income, despite its small size and rural nature, is notable. However, the recent trend towards even lower diversity contrasts with national trends and may have implications for the community's future economic and social dynamics.
