The income growth in this area generally aligns with national trends of rising median incomes, particularly the sharp increase seen in 2021. The subsequent decrease in 2022 might indicate local economic challenges or adjustments post-pandemic. The slow but steady population growth suggests a stable community.
In conclusion, while this zip code has experienced economic growth and slight population increase over the past decade, its racial composition has remained largely unchanged. The community remains predominantly white with minimal diversity, diverging from broader national trends towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity. The subtle increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations could be early indicators of future demographic shifts, but as of 2022, the area remains characterized by low diversity and a strong white majority.
