The zip code 62854 in Kinmundy, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 97% white, with a median income of $64,595. The community has a population of 1,754 in 2022.
From 2013 to 2022, Kinmundy maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population remained above 97% throughout the decade, with minimal representation from other racial groups. This indicates a stable community structure with little influx of diverse populations.
The Hispanic population fluctuated between 0% and 2% over the years. A small Asian population emerged, and there was a slight increase in the two or more races category to 1% in 2022. These changes, while minimal, hint at potential beginnings of diversity.
Economic trends in the community show notable changes. The median income increased from $43,960 in 2013 to $64,595 in 2022, representing a growth of about 46.9% over nine years. This growth outpaces inflation and suggests significant economic improvement in the area.
The population fluctuated over the years, peaking at 1,933 in 2020 and reaching a low of 1,746 in 2021. The 2022 population (1,754) is slightly lower than in 2013 (1,836), indicating a small overall decline despite economic growth.
The demographic stability of Kinmundy is characteristic of many rural American communities. The significant increase in median income suggests a level of economic resilience. The slight increases in Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial populations could be early indicators of future demographic shifts. The slight overall decline in population, despite economic growth, mirrors trends seen in many rural areas.
Kinmundy remains a "Low Diversity" community with a stable racial composition, but has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. This combination of demographic stability and economic improvement presents a case study in rural development. Future monitoring will determine if economic growth translates into increased diversity or population growth, or if the area continues its current trajectory of economic improvement within a stable, homogeneous demographic structure.
