The zip code 47244 in Hartsville, Indiana, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 95% white, meeting the criteria for a dominant racial group with over 75% representation. The median income is $93,792, indicating an affluent area with a population of 656 residents.
From 2013 to 2022, Hartsville has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 95%. Minor changes in diversity include the emergence of Asian representation (1% in 2019, 2% in 2022), the appearance of a small Black population (1% in 2022), and a slight increase in the "Two or More Races" category (from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022). These changes suggest a slow transition towards slightly more diversity, though not enough to alter the overall "Low Diversity" classification.
The median income in Hartsville has shown an upward trend. From 2013 to 2018, it fluctuated between $55,593 and $66,938. From 2019 to 2022, there was a sharp increase from $79,496 to $93,792. This income growth coincides with subtle increases in racial diversity, potentially indicating that the area is attracting more affluent residents from diverse backgrounds. The overall population has decreased from 767 in 2013 to 656 in 2022, which may suggest that the area is becoming less affordable for some former residents.
The racial composition of Hartsville (95% white) is less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population was about 59.3% nationally. The median household income in Hartsville ($93,792 in 2022) is higher than the national median, which was estimated at $69,717 for 2021 by the U.S. Census Bureau. The population decline in Hartsville contrasts with the overall U.S. trend of population growth.
Hartsville remains a "Low Diversity" community, but there are subtle indications of increasing diversity and economic growth. These changes could potentially be early signs of a "Transitional Community" developing at a slow pace. The rising incomes and subtle demographic shifts suggest that the area may be attracting a small number of affluent, diverse residents. The declining population raises questions about affordability and community change that require further investigation.
