The zip code 61754 in McLean, Illinois, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 94% identifying as such. This classification has remained consistent over the past decade, indicating a stable racial composition in the area.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), McLean has maintained a "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has remained above 90% during this time, with minimal representation from other racial groups. However, there are subtle signs of a gradual increase in diversity. The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 99% in 2013 to 94% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Hispanic population, from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% to 2% over the same period.
The median income in McLean has shown an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. In 2013, the median income was $68,090. It peaked in 2021 at $81,821. In 2022, it slightly decreased to $72,388, but still remained higher than the 2013 level. This general increase in median income correlates with the subtle demographic shifts, potentially indicating that the area is attracting a slightly more diverse population with higher incomes.
Population figures have fluctuated over the years, with no clear trend. The population was 1,065 in 2013. It reached a low of 971 in 2016. In 2022, it stood at 997. These fluctuations do not seem to strongly correlate with the demographic or income changes, suggesting that other factors may be influencing population dynamics in the area.
The slight increase in Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races in McLean aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace. The increase in median income is also consistent with national trends, as many areas have seen rising incomes over the past decade.
McLean remains a low-diversity area with a strong white majority, but there are subtle indications of gradual demographic changes. These shifts, coupled with overall rising incomes, suggest that the community may be in the very early stages of transition. However, the pace of change is slow, and it would take many years of continued trends for the area to move into a different diversity category based on the established terms.
