Zip code 35771 in Section, Alabama is categorized as having "Low Diversity" with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 2,997 and a median income of $41,929. The community is predominantly white (92%), with minimal representation from other racial groups.
Over the past decade, Section has consistently maintained its status as a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity." The percentage of white residents has fluctuated slightly, ranging from 87% to 93%. The Hispanic population has gradually increased from 1% in 2014 to 5% in 2022. The representation of other racial groups (Black, Asian, Native American) has remained consistently low, generally at or below 1% throughout the decade.
The median income in Section has shown an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2016, there was slow but steady growth from $32,319 to $35,308. A significant increase occurred from 2017 to 2019, peaking at $45,344. From 2020 to 2022, there were fluctuations with a slight overall decline, ending at $41,929 in 2022.
The period of highest income growth (2017-2019) coincided with the years when the white majority was at its peak (93%). The slight increase in Hispanic population in recent years does not show a clear correlation with income trends, as the median income has fluctuated both up and down during this period.
Population trends show a general decline from 3,500 in 2010 to 2,997 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This decline does not appear to have a strong correlation with the subtle demographic shifts or income changes.
The persistent "White Majority" and "Low Diversity" status of Section contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population, while small, aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in various parts of the country. The median income of $41,929 in 2022 is below the national median household income, suggesting that Section faces some economic challenges compared to national averages.
Section has maintained its status as a predominantly white community with low diversity over the past decade. There are subtle signs of demographic shifts, particularly in the growing Hispanic population. The economic situation, as reflected in median income, has improved over the decade but remains below national averages. These trends suggest that while change is occurring, it is happening at a slow pace, and the community remains relatively homogeneous compared to national diversity trends.
