Existing Conditions Race/Ethnicity According to the United States Census in 2000, 85.6% of Glenview residents identified as White. In 2010, that percentage decreased slightly to 83.2%. As the White population decreased slightly, the percentage of residents who identified as Asian increased from 10.1% in 2000 to 12.5% in 2010. In addition, the percentage of residents who identify as being ethnically Hispanic or Latino increased from 4.1% in 2000 to 5.8% in 2010. Table 1-4 features a breakdown of the percentage of residents who identify with each race and ethnicity. Nationally, the share of the population that is non-Hispanic White alone is projected to decrease by about 18% among those 65 years and over, and by about 13% among those 85 years and over between 2012 and 2050. In total however, because of the projected increase in minority population, both of those age groups are projected to become a bigger share of the overall population between 2012 and 2050 (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2012 Population Estimates and 2012 National Projections). While not Glenview specific, it is important to note that some shift in Glenview’s demographics will most likely continue to occur.
