San Francisco's 94130 zip code, encompassing 0.88 square miles, had a population of 2,971 and a median income of $58,749 in 2022. This area is classified as a "Majority-Minority" community with "High Diversity." No single racial group constitutes a majority. The Hispanic population represents 31%, White 30%, and Black 16%, with each group exceeding 10% representation.
From 2013 to 2022, this zip code experienced significant demographic changes. It transitioned from "Moderate Diversity" to "High Diversity" with a more even distribution among racial groups. The Hispanic population increased from 22% to 31%, while the Asian population decreased from 18% to 10%. Throughout this period, the community maintained its "Majority-Minority" status.
The economic landscape of the zip code saw notable fluctuations. Median income increased from $36,447 in 2013 to $58,749 in 2022, a 61% rise. The population grew modestly from 2,514 to 2,971, an 18% increase. A significant income spike to $86,584 occurred in 2021, followed by a return to previous levels in 2022.
The substantial increase in median income, combined with demographic shifts, may indicate gentrification processes common in urban areas of San Francisco. Despite economic changes, the area maintained and increased its diversity, contrasting with some gentrification patterns that lead to decreased diversity. With 2,971 people in 0.88 square miles, this zip code is highly dense, typical of urban San Francisco but denser than many U.S. areas.
The median income, while growing, remains below what might be expected for San Francisco, suggesting this area might be a pocket of relative affordability in an otherwise expensive city. The zip code's evolution from moderate to high diversity, coupled with substantial income growth, illustrates a community in transition, likely influenced by broader urban renewal and gentrification trends characteristic of many U.S. cities in the past decade.
