Georgetown in Idaho (zip code 83239) is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 91% white, with 11 residents and a median income of $75,617.
From 2013 to 2022, Georgetown maintained its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population percentage remained above 86%, reaching 100% in some years. The area did not transition to "Moderate Diversity" or "Transitional Community" categories. Other racial groups, if present, were statistically insignificant in this small population.
Economic changes occurred despite stable racial demographics. The population grew from 6 people in 2010 to 11 in 2022. Median income increased from $52,762 in 2013 to $75,617 in 2022, a 43% rise over nine years. The overall positive trend in median income suggests economic growth or stability in the community.
Georgetown exhibits characteristics typical of many rural areas in the United States, particularly in Idaho. The increase in median income exceeds national averages for the same period, potentially indicating local economic improvements or changes in the small population's composition. While there has been growth, the population remains very small, suggesting that Georgetown has not experienced significant in-migration or demographic shifts that might lead to increased diversity.
Georgetown represents a very small, racially homogeneous community that has maintained its demographic composition while experiencing economic growth. The stability in racial makeup combined with income increases suggests that existing residents may have seen improved economic conditions rather than the community experiencing significant changes due to migration or broader demographic shifts. However, given the extremely small population size, even minor changes in resident composition could lead to significant percentage shifts in future years.
