Economic trends in the area show a general upward trajectory in median household income, increasing from $30,532 in 2013 to $39,741 in 2022, representing a growth of about 30% over the decade. However, the area has experienced a population decline from 14,308 in 2013 to 13,365 in 2022, a decrease of about 6.6%. The increase in median income coincides with the growth of the Hispanic population and the slight decrease in the Black majority, suggesting possible changes in the local economic landscape and job market.

The income growth in this zip code, while positive, likely still leaves the area below national and potentially state averages. The growth in the Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of increasing Hispanic populations in many urban and suburban areas across the United States. The slight decrease in the Black population percentage, while maintaining a majority, could reflect broader patterns of suburban migration or changing settlement patterns among African Americans in the region. The population decline, despite income growth, might indicate challenges in retaining residents or attracting new ones.

Tarrant's 35217 zip code remains a "Black Majority" area but is showing signs of evolving into a more diverse community, particularly with the growth of its Hispanic population. This demographic shift, coupled with modest economic improvements, suggests a community in transition. However, the persistent population decline indicates that the area may be facing challenges in fully capitalizing on its increasing diversity and economic growth.
