Dixon, Montana, has experienced demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. The community is categorized as "Low Diversity" with a white majority of 67% as of 2022. The white population increased from 51% in 2013 to 67% in 2022, indicating a shift from "Moderate Diversity" to "Low Diversity." The Native American population, the second-largest group, declined from 37% in 2013 to 22% in 2022.
During this period, Dixon experienced economic growth. The median income increased from $25,227 in 2013 to $39,999 in 2022, representing a 58.6% increase. This economic improvement occurred alongside population fluctuations, with the population decreasing from 828 in 2013 to 565 in 2017, then increasing to 850 by 2022.
The trend of increasing median income in Dixon aligns with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the demographic shift towards lower diversity contrasts with many urban and suburban areas across the U.S. that have been experiencing increasing diversity.
Based on observed trends, Dixon is likely to continue its trajectory towards "Low Diversity" in the near future, with the white majority potentially increasing further. The significant Native American population and small but consistent presence of other racial groups suggest that complete homogeneity is unlikely.
Economically, if current trends persist, Dixon may continue to see modest income growth. The volatility in population numbers over the years indicates potential for demographic changes that could influence economic trajectories.
Dixon is currently in the "Low Diversity" category, but it should be monitored for potential signs of becoming a "Transitional Community." Any increase in Hispanic, multiracial, or other minority populations could signal the beginning of a new demographic shift, potentially driven by changing economic opportunities or broader regional migration patterns.
This analysis demonstrates the complex relationship between demographic composition and economic conditions in small communities like Dixon, highlighting the importance of considering multiple factors when assessing community evolution and predicting future trends.
