Zip code 30118 in Carrollton, Georgia, is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" area as of 2022. The community has a Black plurality of 47% and a White population of 41%. The total population in 2022 was 187, with a median income of $24,619.
Over the past decade, this zip code has experienced significant demographic changes. In 2013, the area had a White plurality (43%) with a significant Black population (48%). By 2017, it had transitioned to a "Black Majority" community with 60% Black population. The community alternated between "Moderate Diversity" and "Low Diversity" (Black Majority) throughout the decade. The Black population reached a peak of 62% in 2019. By 2022, the community returned to "Moderate Diversity" with a more balanced distribution between Black and White populations.
There has been a slight increase in Hispanic and Asian populations, and a notable rise in the "Two or More Races" category from 1% to 3% in 2022, indicating a trend towards increased diversity. The economic landscape of the zip code has been volatile. Median income has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a low of $19,937 in 2019 to a high of $199,264 in 2021. The population has steadily decreased from a peak of 271 in 2015 to 187 in 2022.
Periods of higher diversity (2013-2016) coincided with higher median incomes, while the shift towards a Black majority correlated with a decline in median income from 2017-2019. The small population size makes this zip code particularly susceptible to rapid demographic shifts. The extreme fluctuations in median income suggest a community that may be struggling with economic stability. The declining population could indicate a trend of migration to more urban areas. The gradual increase in Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial populations aligns with national trends of increasing diversity, albeit on a much smaller scale.
This zip code represents a "Transitional Community" that has experienced significant demographic and economic changes over the past decade. It has moved from a White plurality to a Black majority and back to a more balanced diversity, all while facing economic challenges. These shifts reflect the dynamic nature of small communities and their sensitivity to both local and broader socio-economic trends.
