Over the past decade, Union has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards becoming a "Transitional Community". The white population has decreased from 97% in 2014 to 90% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady diversification. There has been a notable increase in the "Two or More Races" category, rising from 0% in 2017 to 6% in 2022. Small but consistent increases in Black, Hispanic, and Asian populations suggest an emerging trend towards greater diversity.
The demographic shifts correlate with changes in median income and population. Median income has shown overall growth, rising from $53,660 in 2013 to $62,907 in 2022, a 17.2% increase. Population has grown from 17,403 in 2013 to 19,269 in 2022, a 10.7% increase. These economic trends suggest that as the community becomes slightly more diverse, it is also experiencing economic growth.
The gradual diversification trend in Union aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many American communities, although at a slower pace. The income growth rate of 17.2% over nine years is moderate and generally in line with national averages, suggesting that Union is neither falling behind nor significantly outpacing broader economic trends. The population growth of 10.7% over nine years is relatively robust, potentially indicating that Union is an attractive place to live, possibly due to its economic opportunities or quality of life factors.
Union remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area. It shows signs of gradual diversification and steady economic growth. These trends, if continued, could lead to more significant demographic and economic changes in the coming years, potentially transforming Union into a more diverse and economically dynamic community.
