Pewaukee, Wisconsin, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" based on established terminology. As of 2022, the white population comprises 91% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The village has a population of 7,131 and a median income of $66,413 as of 2022, indicating a relatively affluent community despite recent economic fluctuations.
Over the past decade, Pewaukee has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 92% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Hispanic population, from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The "two or more races" category has grown from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. These changes suggest a very slow trend towards increased diversity, though not enough to shift the community out of the "Low Diversity" category.
The median income in Pewaukee has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. It rose from $75,595 in 2013 to a peak of $84,813 in 2019. There has been a sharp decline since 2019, dropping to $66,413 in 2022. This recent downward trend in median income coincides with a slight decrease in population from 7,374 in 2019 to 7,131 in 2022. This could indicate economic challenges in the community, potentially influencing or being influenced by the subtle demographic shifts.
The trends observed in Pewaukee – slight increases in diversity and recent economic challenges – are consistent with patterns seen in many suburban communities across the United States in recent years.
Based on the observed trends, Pewaukee will likely continue to be categorized as a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. If the subtle trends towards increased diversity continue or accelerate, the community might transition towards a "Transitional Community" category over the next decade.
The sharp decline in median income is notable. If this trend continues, it could potentially accelerate demographic shifts as the community's economic profile changes. This might lead to increased diversity as the area becomes more accessible to a wider range of income brackets.
Pewaukee remains a predominantly white, affluent community. Subtle demographic shifts and recent economic challenges suggest the potential for more significant changes in the coming years. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for understanding the evolving nature of this Wisconsin community.
