Zip code 29469, representing Pinopolis, South Carolina, is characterized as a "White Majority" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 76% of the total population. The area has a median income of $70,130, which exceeds the national median income. The total population in 2022 was 2,763, indicating a small but growing area that has experienced demographic changes over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Pinopolis has maintained its "White Majority" status, but with subtle demographic shifts. The white population percentage decreased from 81% in 2016 to 76% in 2022. The black population fluctuated, reaching a low of 16% in 2016 and 2019, but increasing to 21% by 2022. The Hispanic population doubled from 1% to 2% between 2016 and 2022. The community has consistently had a small presence of individuals identifying as two or more races, typically around 1-3% of the population.
The median income in Pinopolis has shown significant growth over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, median income increased from $46,632 to $70,130, a growth of about 50%. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $76,862. Despite fluctuations, the overall trend shows substantial economic growth in the community.
Population trends have been relatively stable, with minor fluctuations. Population peaked in 2010 at 2,940, dropped to a low of 2,392 in 2012, and has since rebounded to 2,763 in 2022. The relative stability in population, combined with increasing median income, suggests that the area is becoming more affluent without significant population growth.
The increase in median income in Pinopolis outpaces national trends, suggesting strong local economic growth. The persistence of a strong white majority, with only gradual diversification, contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas. The stable population in a growing economic environment might indicate limited housing development or a preference for maintaining the current community size.
Pinopolis represents a small, predominantly white community that has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. While it remains categorized as a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity," there are signs of gradual diversification. The combination of increasing affluence and subtle demographic shifts suggests a community in slow transition, potentially attracting a more diverse, high-income population while maintaining its overall character.
