Warsaw, Missouri (zip code 65355) is characterized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 92% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this category. The city has a population of 10,061 and a median income of $38,014 as of 2022.
Over the past decade, Warsaw has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. However, subtle shifts indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 96% in 2013 to 92% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased slightly from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The population of two or more races increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The Native American population emerged with 1% representation by 2019.
These changes, while minimal, suggest a gradual movement towards what could potentially become a "Transitional Community" in the future if these trends continue or accelerate. The median income in Warsaw has shown moderate growth over the decade, increasing from $33,819 in 2013 to $38,014 in 2022, representing a 12.4% increase over nine years.
Population has remained relatively stable, with a slight overall increase from 9,606 in 2013 to 10,061 in 2022. This 4.7% population growth over the decade aligns with the subtle increase in diversity, possibly indicating small influxes of new residents from different backgrounds.
Warsaw's demographic makeup is considerably less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population was about 59.3% nationally, compared to Warsaw's 92% white population. The median household income in Warsaw ($38,014 in 2022) is significantly lower than the national median, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that Warsaw faces economic challenges compared to national averages.
The slow pace of diversification in Warsaw contrasts with faster-changing demographics in many urban and suburban areas across the U.S., where diversity is increasing more rapidly. While Warsaw remains a "Low Diversity" community with a predominant white population, subtle shifts towards increased diversity are evident. These changes, coupled with moderate economic growth, suggest a community in the early stages of demographic transition. However, the pace of change is slow compared to national trends, and economic indicators remain below national averages. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understand Warsaw's evolving demographic and economic landscape in the coming years.
