The zip code 35444 in Brookwood, Alabama, is classified as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 90% identifying as such.

Brookwood has maintained its Low Diversity status over the past decade. The white population has remained the majority, fluctuating between 90% and 93% from 2013 to 2022. The Black population has remained relatively stable at 4-5% throughout the decade. The Hispanic population has shown a gradual increase from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.

The low diversity and high percentage of white residents in Brookwood is not uncommon for rural or small-town areas in Alabama and other parts of the Southern United States. The gradual increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the United States. The emergence of a small but growing multiracial population reflects a national trend of increasing identification with multiple racial backgrounds. The economic fluctuations, particularly the dip in 2020, likely reflect broader national economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brookwood remains a Low Diversity area with a strong white majority. Subtle shifts in its demographic makeup suggest the potential for increased diversity in the future. The economic trends do not appear to be directly linked to these minor demographic changes. The community's evolution seems to be influenced more by broader regional and national trends than by significant local demographic shifts.
