Bellmont, Illinois (zip code 62811) is categorized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the population is 9 people, with 100% of residents identified as white. The median income in 2022 was $55,178, showing an increase from previous years.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Bellmont has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The percentage of white residents has remained above 85% for all years with available data, ranging from 86% to 100%. This indicates a stable racial composition with minimal influx of other racial groups over the past decade.
There are no apparent transitions between diversity categories, suggesting that Bellmont has not experienced significant demographic changes in terms of racial composition. The small population size (ranging from 6 to 10 people over the years) means that even minor changes in resident composition could potentially lead to large percentage shifts, yet the community has remained predominantly white.
The median income in Bellmont has shown fluctuation over the years, but with an overall upward trend. Starting from $45,657 in 2013, it reached a peak of $70,808 in 2021 before settling at $55,178 in 2022. This represents a total increase of about 20.9% from 2013 to 2022, outpacing inflation for the same period.
The highest median income coincided with the highest population (10 people in 2021), suggesting a possible correlation between economic prosperity and slight population growth in this small community. However, given the extremely small sample size, these variations could be due to individual household changes rather than broader economic trends.
The persistently low diversity of Bellmont contrasts with national trends, where many communities have been experiencing increasing diversity over the past decade. The stability of its racial composition might be attributed to its rural location and very small size, which may limit opportunities for demographic change.
The income growth in Bellmont, while positive, should be interpreted cautiously due to the tiny population. It is challenging to draw broad conclusions or compare meaningfully to regional or national trends given the unique circumstances of such a small community.
Bellmont represents a stable, low-diversity community with a consistently White Majority over the past decade. Its extremely small size makes it an outlier in many ways, limiting the applicability of broader demographic trend analyses. The community has seen some economic growth, but the implications of this growth are difficult to generalize given the very limited population.
