From 2013 to 2022, Kings Mills has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority". However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 95% in 2013 to 84% in 2022, while the Asian population increased from 1% in 2014 to 10% in 2022. The Black population, previously unreported, reached 2% by 2022. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable at 1-2% throughout the period.
The median income in Kings Mills has fluctuated over the years. It peaked in 2013 at $94,662, declined until 2018 to $76,678, and then experienced an upward trend from 2019 onwards. The median income reached $100,209 in 2021 before slightly decreasing to $83,239 in 2022. Population figures have shown an overall increase from 355 in 2013 to 496 in 2022, indicating that the area is attracting new residents despite its small geographic size.
The trends observed in Kings Mills align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States. These include increasing diversity in traditionally homogeneous communities, often driven by the growth of Asian and Hispanic populations; economic resilience and growth in small, affluent communities, as evidenced by the above-average median income; and the gradual integration of minority populations into predominantly white areas, particularly in communities with strong economic indicators.
In conclusion, while Kings Mills remains a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority", it shows signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. This demographic shift, coupled with generally positive economic trends, suggests that the area is evolving in line with broader national trends towards increased suburban diversity and economic growth. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these changes accelerate, potentially moving the community towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification, or whether they stabilize, maintaining the current demographic balance.
