There is no clear correlation between the community's increasing diversity and income levels. The median income has remained relatively stable despite significant demographic shifts. The slight population decline coupled with increasing diversity suggests the area may be experiencing some degree of "white flight". The maintenance of a relatively high median income despite demographic changes indicates that the incoming diverse population likely consists of middle to upper-middle-class families.

This demographic shift aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many suburbs across the United States have been transitioning from predominantly white communities to more diverse areas over the past few decades. The stable median income amid demographic changes suggests that this community may be avoiding some of the economic challenges often associated with rapid demographic shifts.

Zip code 60417 in Crete, Illinois, represents a "Transitional Community," evolving from a White Majority to a Moderate Diversity area over the past decade. This transition has been marked by a significant increase in the Black population, a stable Hispanic presence, and an emerging multiracial demographic. Despite these changes, the area has maintained its economic stability.
