The Youngston/Holiday Hill neighborhood in Springfield, Illinois, is characterized as a Low Diversity community with a predominant white population of 83% in 2022.

Over the past decade, Youngston/Holiday Hill has maintained its Low Diversity status, with the white population consistently representing over 75% of residents. However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The white population has decreased from 87% in 2013 to 83% in 2022. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown a slight increase from 3% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, with some fluctuations in between.
The median income in Youngston/Holiday Hill has shown overall growth, rising from $79,238 in 2013 to $81,442 in 2022, with some fluctuations. There was a dip in median income from 2015 to 2018, reaching a low of $73,089 in 2018. A sharp recovery followed, with median income peaking at $86,822 in 2021 before slightly decreasing in 2022.
These economic trends correlate with the demographic shifts. The period of income decline (2015-2018) coincides with a slight increase in diversity, particularly growth in the black population. The subsequent income recovery aligns with a stabilization and slight increase in the white population percentage.
Population figures have fluctuated over the decade, with a notable increase from 4,597 in 2019 to 5,246 in 2022. This recent population growth coincides with the income recovery and may indicate increased attractiveness of the neighborhood to new residents.
The neighborhood's median income ($81,442 in 2022) is likely above the national median, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The slow increase in diversity, particularly in multiracial identification, aligns with national trends seen in the 2020 census, where the multiracial population in the U.S. grew significantly. The neighborhood's predominantly white composition (83% in 2022) is higher than the national average, which was about 60% non-Hispanic white in 2020.
Youngston/Holiday Hill remains a Low Diversity, predominantly white neighborhood, but there are signs of gradual demographic shifts. The economic resilience of the area, as evidenced by income recovery and recent population growth, suggests that these changes are occurring in a context of overall neighborhood stability and attractiveness. The slow pace of diversification may indicate a gradual integration process that doesn't disrupt the neighborhood's economic stability.
