The zip code 27923 in Coinjock, North Carolina, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, comprising 91% of the total. The current median income is $63,894, and the population stands at 1,069.
Over the past decade, Coinjock has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has consistently remained the majority, never falling below 87% during the observed period. There have been minor shifts in demographics, with a slight increase in diversity from 2013 to 2022. The white population decreased marginally from 87% to 91%, while other racial groups experienced small increases.
The Hispanic population demonstrated the most significant change, growing from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. This may indicate the beginning of a "Transitional Community" trend, albeit at a very slow pace. Conversely, the Black population decreased from 4% in 2013 to 1% in 2022, further reinforcing the white majority.
The median income in Coinjock has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $55,941 to $63,894, representing a 14.2% growth. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $71,904, followed by a significant drop in 2022. The gradual increase in income appears to coincide with the slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population. However, the relationship is not strong enough to draw definitive conclusions.
The population has remained relatively stable, with some fluctuations. There was a slight decrease from 1,052 in 2013 to 1,069 in 2022, representing a minimal overall change. The population reached its highest point of 1,263 in 2017, followed by a decline. A significant drop to 926 occurred in 2020, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but rebounded in subsequent years.
Coinjock's demographic makeup differs significantly from national trends, which show increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The income growth in Coinjock (14.2% from 2013 to 2022) is roughly in line with national median household income growth, which was approximately 15% during a similar period. The stability of the white majority in Coinjock contrasts with many other areas in the country that have experienced more rapid demographic changes.
In conclusion, Coinjock remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity, particularly with the growth of the Hispanic population. The area has experienced moderate economic growth over the past decade, but it is unclear if this is directly related to the minor demographic shifts. The community appears to be resistant to major demographic changes compared to national trends, maintaining its predominantly white composition throughout the observed period.
