The zip code 62867, which includes New Haven in Illinois, is characterized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, 95% of the population identifies as white, while 4% identify as two or more races. The median income for 2022 is $52,283, which is lower than the 2019 peak of $57,979 but shows recovery from the 2021 low of $45,974.
From 2013 to 2022, New Haven has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The white population decreased slightly from 98% in 2013 to 95% in 2022, while the population identifying as two or more races increased from 1% to 4% during the same period. These minor changes could indicate the beginning of a very slow transition towards increased diversity, but the community remains far from reaching a Moderate Diversity classification.
The median income in New Haven has fluctuated over the past decade. It increased from $47,262 in 2013 to a peak of $61,137 in 2018, followed by a decline to $45,974 in 2021, and a partial recovery to $52,283 in 2022. These economic shifts do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic changes observed. The community has maintained its White Majority status regardless of economic fluctuations.
Population trends show a general decline from 1,093 in 2010 to 887 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This overall population decrease could be influencing both economic and demographic trends, potentially indicating out-migration.
New Haven appears to be changing at a much slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The slight increase in individuals identifying as two or more races aligns with national trends, but the overall lack of significant diversity increase contrasts with many other parts of the country.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the post-2018 decline and recent recovery, may reflect broader economic trends such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery efforts.
In conclusion, while New Haven shows signs of very gradual demographic change and has experienced notable economic fluctuations, it remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The slow pace of demographic change suggests that significant shifts in the racial makeup of the community are unlikely in the near future unless there are major changes in migration patterns or other external factors.
