The zip code has remained relatively stable in its racial composition while national trends have shown increasing diversity in many areas. The slight increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends, but at a much slower pace. The median income growth, especially the spike in 2020-2021, may reflect broader economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery.
Wilson-Conococheague shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." The community has experienced economic growth over the decade, with recent volatility, but these changes have not significantly altered the racial demographics of the area. The stability in racial composition, despite economic changes and population growth, suggests deeply rooted community characteristics that are slow to change.
