Whitewater has maintained its status as a community with "Low Diversity" from 2013 to 2022. The white population has consistently remained above 95% during this period. Between 2013 and 2016, there was a minimal increase in diversity, with the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races reaching 3% in 2013 before declining to 1% by 2016. From 2017 to 2021, a slight increase in diversity occurred, with small percentages (1-2%) of Black and Hispanic residents appearing in the data. By 2022, the community reverted to a more homogeneous composition, with 99% of residents identifying as white.
The economic situation in Whitewater has been variable over the past decade. From 2013 to 2018, there was a general upward trend in median income, rising from $45,971 to $53,528. However, from 2019 to 2022, there has been a decline in median income, dropping from $52,478 to $42,810. The population has fluctuated, with a significant drop from 1,111 in 2010 to 797 in 2016, followed by a recovery to 1,067 by 2022.
The racial homogeneity of Whitewater is higher than the national average. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population in the United States was about 59.3%, lower than Whitewater's 99%. The median household income in Whitewater ($42,810 in 2022) is lower than the national median household income, which was estimated to be around $70,784 in 2021. The trend of declining diversity in recent years contrasts with the national trend of increasing diversity in most communities across the United States.
Whitewater has maintained exceptionally low diversity over the past decade, with only minor fluctuations. The economic trends, particularly the recent decline in median income, suggest that the community may be facing economic challenges. These trends, combined with the population fluctuations, indicate that Whitewater may be experiencing socio-economic pressures that could influence its demographic composition in the future.
