The zip code 30641 in Good Hope, Georgia, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The white population comprises 80% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity. The median income is $52,479, with a population of 2,163.
Good Hope has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area over the past decade. The white population has decreased from 90% in 2017 to 80% in 2022. The black population has increased from 8% in 2017 to 16% in 2022. Hispanic and Multiracial populations have remained stable at around 2% each. These trends suggest a gradual move towards potential "Moderate Diversity" in the future.
The median income in Good Hope has shown volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, it fluctuated between $55,705 and $69,146 with a downward trend. In 2020-2021, there was a significant increase, peaking at $76,682 in 2021. In 2022, there was a sharp decline to $52,479, the lowest in the observed period.
The period of increasing diversity (2017-2022) coincides with both the highest and lowest median income figures. This suggests no clear direct correlation between demographic shifts and economic changes. Population figures have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 1,800 and 2,200 residents throughout the decade. The recent increase in population from 1,973 in 2020 to 2,163 in 2022 coincides with the increase in diversity.
The gradual diversification trend in Good Hope aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in many American communities, particularly in suburban and rural areas. The economic volatility, especially the sharp decline in median income in 2022, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by many small communities in the post-pandemic era. The extent of this decline from $76,682 in 2021 to $52,479 in 2022 is unusually steep and may warrant further investigation into local economic factors.
Good Hope remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but shows signs of gradual demographic shifts. These changes, coupled with significant economic fluctuations, suggest a community in transition. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understanding the long-term demographic and economic trajectory of this zip code.
