The Hispanic population decreased from 2% in 2013-2015 to 1% from 2016 onwards. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races decreased from 1-2% in earlier years to 0% in recent years.
The median income in Nauvoo has shown an overall upward trend with fluctuations. From 2013 to 2020, there was a general increase from $38,076 to $56,916. A significant increase occurred between 2015 and 2016, with median income rising from $41,820 to $51,477. A notable drop to $49,257 occurred in 2021, followed by a recovery to $56,756 in 2022.
Population trends indicate a general decline. The population peaked at 1,626 in 2016 and has since decreased to 1,186 in 2022, representing a decline of approximately 27% over six years.
The economic trends do not appear to be strongly correlated with the minimal demographic shifts. The increasing median income coupled with a decreasing population might suggest that higher-income residents are remaining while lower-income residents are leaving.
Nauvoo appears to be maintaining its low diversity status, contrary to national trends of increasing diversity. The increasing median income aligns with national trends, but the population decline is notable and may indicate broader rural-to-urban migration patterns observed in many parts of the United States.
The community's racial homogeneity and relatively stable economic indicators suggest limited demographic change over the past decade. This potentially indicates a more traditional, established community structure. However, the declining population could pose challenges for the community's long-term economic sustainability.
