Zip code 27813 in Black Creek, North Carolina, is classified as a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The area has a population of 131 residents and a median income of $46,856. The white population comprises 62% of the total, while other racial groups have significant representation.
Over the past decade, Black Creek has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community, but with fluctuations in racial composition. The white population remained the majority, ranging from 57% to 68%. The Black population varied from 20% to 37%, and the Hispanic population fluctuated between 1% and 10%. The community showed signs of transitioning towards greater diversity from 2015 to 2016, nearly reaching "Majority-Minority" status, but this trend reversed in subsequent years.
The median income in Black Creek has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $39,374 in 2013 to $48,213 in 2019, before settling at $46,856 in 2022. This represents an overall increase of about 19% from 2013 to 2022, despite some fluctuations.
A correlation between demographics and economics is observed. The period of lowest white population percentage coincided with the lowest median income years. As the white population percentage increased from 2016 to 2018, there was a corresponding rise in median income. The most recent years show a stabilization in both racial composition and median income.
The population has grown from 91 in 2010 to 131 in 2022, an increase of about 44%. This growth may have contributed to the increased diversity and economic changes in the area.
The trends in Black Creek reflect some broader patterns observed in many small American towns, including a gradual increase in diversity while maintaining a white majority, slow but steady economic growth over the decade, and population growth. The community's experience of maintaining a white majority while seeing increased representation from other racial groups is consistent with demographic shifts seen in many rural and small-town areas across the United States. The economic growth aligns with national trends of slow but steady recovery following the 2008 financial crisis.
Black Creek represents a small, predominantly white community that has experienced moderate diversification and economic growth over the past decade. While it has maintained its "White Majority" status, the fluctuations in racial composition and steady increase in median income suggest a community in transition, adapting to broader demographic and economic trends affecting small towns across America.
