Breese's demographic composition aligns with many rural Midwestern communities, which often have predominantly white populations. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population is consistent with broader national trends of increasing diversity, though at a much slower pace than urban areas or the national average. The steady income growth suggests economic resilience, which is notable given the economic challenges many rural communities face.
In conclusion, Breese remains a "Low Diversity" community with subtle signs of demographic change. The economic stability and growth may create conditions for increased diversity in the future, albeit at a very gradual pace. The community is experiencing slow but steady economic improvement, which could potentially attract more diverse residents over time. However, any significant shift in the demographic makeup would likely take many years at the current rate of change.
