Zip code 24101 in Westlake Corner, Virginia, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 5,490 and a median household income of $70,906, indicating a middle-class suburban or rural setting.
This zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" from 2013 to 2022. The white population has remained above 90% during this period, with minor fluctuations. This stability indicates little demographic change in terms of racial composition.
Minor shifts in demographics include a decrease in the Black population from 3% in 2013 to 1% in 2022, a gradual increase in the Hispanic population from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, and a consistently low Asian population of 1-2% in recent years. These changes suggest a slow transition towards slightly increased diversity, though not enough to alter the overall categorization of the area.
The median household income in the area has shown an upward trend, increasing from $68,345 in 2013 to $70,906 in 2022. This represents a 3.7% increase over nine years, slightly outpacing inflation. The community has maintained economic stability, with minor fluctuations in median income year to year.
The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 5,934 in 2013 to 5,490 in 2022. This minor population decrease, combined with the slight increase in median income, may indicate a gradual aging of the population or a shift towards smaller household sizes.
This zip code maintains its demographic composition with gradual changes, contrasting with national trends of increasing diversity in urban and suburban settings. The modest income growth aligns with national trends of slow but steady economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession.
The Westlake Corner area demonstrates economic stability and very gradual diversification, remaining a predominantly white, middle-class community with minor demographic and economic shifts over the past decade. The community can be described as stable rather than transitional, with potential for more significant changes in the future if current subtle trends continue or accelerate.
