Bryant, Illinois, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the village has a population of 472 with a median income of $87,499. The racial composition is predominantly white (97%), with minimal representation from other racial groups.
Over the past decade, Bryant has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained above 95% throughout the period, with only minor fluctuations. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition.
Despite the stable racial demographics, Bryant has experienced substantial economic growth. The median income has increased from $42,999 in 2013 to $87,499 in 2022, more than doubling over this period. This income growth suggests improving economic conditions for the predominantly white population.
Population figures have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a low of 284 in 2013 to a high of 561 in 2018, before settling at 472 in 2022. These fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with the racial composition, which has remained stable.
Bryant has maintained its homogeneous racial composition while experiencing significant income growth. This stability in a predominantly white community, combined with income growth, suggests that Bryant is experiencing economic improvements without corresponding demographic changes.
Based on observed trends, Bryant will likely continue to be categorized as a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The stability of the racial composition over the past decade suggests little immediate change in this aspect.
The increase in median income could potentially lead to changes in the community's character. If this trend continues, Bryant might become increasingly attractive to new residents. While this may not immediately change the racial composition, it could lead to population growth and potentially slight increases in diversity over time.
In the long term, if economic growth continues to outpace demographic changes, Bryant might transition into a "Prosperous Homogeneous Community" - characterized by high median income, stable or growing population, and continued low racial diversity.
These predictions are based on historical trends and could be influenced by various external factors such as regional economic shifts, changes in local policies, or broader societal movements towards increased mobility and diversity.
