The median income in the area has shown a positive trend, increasing from $47,683 in 2013 to $58,841 in 2022, representing a growth of about 23% over the decade. This economic improvement correlates with the slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population.

The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with some fluctuations. It decreased from 14,408 in 2010 to 12,892 in 2020, but then rebounded to 13,611 in 2022. This stability in population, coupled with rising incomes, suggests a relatively steady local economy that may be attracting a more diverse workforce, albeit slowly.

The trends observed in this zip code – slow diversification and increasing median income – are consistent with broader patterns seen in many suburban and small-city areas across the United States. However, the pace of diversification in this zip code appears to be slower than national averages, which have shown more rapid increases in diversity over the past decade.

The economic growth in this area, as evidenced by the rising median income, is a positive sign. It suggests that the community may be experiencing economic development that could potentially attract more diverse populations in the future, possibly accelerating the slow transition towards greater diversity.

The zip code 35504 in Jasper, Alabama, remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but there are subtle signs of demographic change. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population and the steady rise in median income suggest a community that is slowly evolving. If these trends continue or accelerate, the area may transition to a "Moderate Diversity" category in the coming years, potentially bringing new dynamics to local social and economic life.
