Over the past decade, Mead has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 90%, ranging from 94% to 97%. Minor fluctuations have occurred in other racial groups, but not enough to alter the community's diversity classification.
Some subtle changes have been observed. The Hispanic population increased slightly from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The category of Two or More Races grew from 0% in earlier years to 2% in 2022. A brief appearance of Asian residents (1%) was noted in 2020.
The median income in Mead has fluctuated over the years, with no clear trend. The highest recorded median income was $73,805 in 2017, while the lowest in recent years was $65,270 in 2022. These fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
The population has remained relatively stable, around 600 residents throughout the decade. This stability in population, combined with the consistent racial composition, suggests little change in the community's socio-economic makeup.
Mead's demographic makeup is not typical of the increasing diversity seen in many parts of the United States. The stability of its racial composition suggests it may be a more traditional, rural community. The median income has generally remained above $65,000, which is higher than the national median household income.
In conclusion, Mead represents a stable, predominantly white community with little demographic change over the past decade. While there are hints of very slow diversification, the area remains characterized by low diversity and relative economic stability.
