The zip code 62258 in Mascoutah, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 11,156 and a median income of $75,486. From 2013 to 2022, Mascoutah has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community, but there is evidence of a slow transition towards increased diversity.
The white population decreased from 90% in 2013 to 81% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Black population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 4-5%. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. These shifts suggest a gradual movement towards a "Transitional Community," particularly with the growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations.
The median income in Mascoutah has shown overall growth, with some fluctuations. In 2013, it was $72,944. It peaked at $81,379 in 2016, and was $75,486 in 2022. The community has maintained a relatively high median income throughout the decade, even as its racial composition slowly diversified. This suggests that the increasing diversity has not negatively impacted the area's economic status.
Population growth has been steady, increasing from 9,865 in 2013 to 11,156 in 2022, a 13% increase. This growth, coupled with the gradual diversification, may indicate that the area is attracting a wider range of residents while maintaining its economic appeal.
The trend of increasing diversity, particularly growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations, aligns with broader national demographic shifts. The median income in Mascoutah remains well above the national median (which was around $70,784 in 2021), suggesting it's an economically robust area. The community's gradual diversification while maintaining high median incomes could indicate a healthy integration of new residents without economic disruption.
While Mascoutah remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, it shows signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. This change has occurred alongside steady population growth and maintenance of high median incomes, suggesting a gradual and economically stable demographic evolution. The community appears to be slowly transitioning while maintaining its economic strength, which could position it well for future growth and development.
