The trends observed in this zip code reflect broader national patterns of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. However, the pace of diversification in this Asheville zip code appears to be slower than in many other urban areas across the United States.
The economic growth in this area outpaces the national average for the same period, which could be attracting new residents and contributing to the gradual increase in diversity. The consistent growth in the Hispanic population aligns with national trends of increasing Hispanic populations in many communities across the country.
Zip code 28806 in Asheville remains a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity," but there are signs of a slow transition towards increased diversity. This change is occurring alongside significant economic growth and steady population increase, suggesting a community in the early stages of demographic evolution. If these trends continue, the area may eventually transition to a "Moderate Diversity" category, though this would likely occur over an extended period given the current pace of change.
