Floris, Iowa (zip code 52560) is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 94% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city has a population of 192 residents as of 2022, with a median income of $75,543.
Throughout the past decade, Floris has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained the dominant racial group, consistently comprising over 90% of the total population from 2013 to 2022. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity in recent years. The percentage of white residents decreased slightly from 99% in 2019 to 94% in 2022. The Hispanic population emerged as a small but consistent minority group (2% from 2020 to 2022). The "Other" racial category increased from 1% in 2020 to 3% in 2022.
The median income in Floris has shown a general upward trend over the past decade, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2019, median income increased from $63,036 to $78,333, a 24% rise. There was a notable jump to $90,104 in 2021, followed by a decrease to $75,543 in 2022. These economic changes do not seem to directly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed. The overall trend of increasing median income suggests improving economic conditions for the predominantly white population.
Population trends show a general decline from 263 residents in 2010 to 192 in 2022, with some fluctuations. This decline has not significantly altered the racial composition of the community.
The demographic profile of Floris contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While many urban and suburban areas across the United States have experienced significant increases in racial and ethnic diversity over the past decade, Floris has maintained its predominantly white composition.
The economic trends in Floris, particularly the overall increase in median income, align with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The sharp increase and subsequent decrease in median income between 2020 and 2022 may reflect local economic factors or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The population decline in Floris is consistent with trends seen in many small, rural communities across the Midwest, where urbanization and changing economic landscapes have led to gradual population losses in smaller towns.
Floris remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority. Subtle changes in recent years hint at the potential for slow diversification. The economic picture is generally positive, with rising incomes despite a declining population. These trends suggest a stable, albeit slowly evolving, community that has maintained its demographic character while experiencing modest economic improvements.
