The zip code 61375 in Varna, Illinois, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 91% white. The median income is $71,565, which has increased over the past decade. The community has a population of 1,214 in 2022 and has experienced minor demographic changes over time.
From 2013 to 2022, Varna has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has decreased from 99% to 91%. The Hispanic population has remained between 2-3% since 2014. The category of two or more races has increased from 0% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. Asian, Black, and other races have consistently represented less than 1% of the population. These changes suggest a slow trend towards becoming a "Transitional Community".
The demographic shifts correspond with economic changes. The median income has increased from $52,629 in 2013 to $71,565 in 2022, a 36% growth. The population has grown from 1,038 in 2013 to 1,214 in 2022, a 17% increase. The rising median income may be attracting a slightly more diverse population to the area. The increase in diversity, particularly in the "two or more races" category, coincides with this economic growth.
The slow increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of growing multiracial populations in the United States. The 36% increase in median income over nine years exceeds the national average, indicating strong local economic growth. The 91% white population is higher than the national average of approximately 60%.
Varna remains a "Low Diversity" community, but shows signs of gradual change. The economic growth and subtle demographic shifts suggest a community in the early stages of transition. If these trends continue, Varna may evolve into a more diverse community over the coming decades, potentially moving towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification. However, any such transition would likely be a slow, long-term process given the current demographic composition.
