The zip code 36022 in Pine Level, Alabama, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 18,097 and a median income of $68,386. The white population comprises 73% of the total, exceeding the threshold for a low diversity designation.
Over the past decade, Pine Level has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area, with a slight trend towards increased diversity. The white population percentage has decreased from 77% in 2013 to 73% in 2022, while the black population has increased from 19% to 22% during the same period. This gradual shift suggests the area may be slowly transitioning towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification, although it remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
The Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races have shown small but steady increases, from 1% each in 2013 to 2% and 3% respectively in 2022. This trend indicates a slow but consistent diversification of the community, potentially classifying it as a "Transitional Community" in terms of racial composition.
The median income in Pine Level has shown fluctuations over the past decade, with an overall upward trend. From $62,873 in 2013, it rose to a peak of $78,145 in 2021 before declining to $68,386 in 2022. This represents an overall increase of about 8.8% from 2013 to 2022, despite the recent decline.
The population has grown steadily from 15,485 in 2013 to 18,097 in 2022, an increase of about 16.9%. This population growth, coupled with the overall increase in median income, suggests a generally positive economic trajectory for the area.
The gradual increase in diversity appears to have coincided with overall economic growth in the area. As the community has become slightly more diverse, the median income has generally trended upward, and the population has grown consistently. This suggests that the incremental diversification may be linked to economic opportunities attracting a broader range of residents to the area.
The trend of increasing diversity in Pine Level aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in many American communities. However, the rate of diversification in this area appears to be slower than what might be observed in more urban or rapidly changing regions.
The median income of $68,386 in 2022 is likely above the national median, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that Pine Level maintains a relatively strong economic position despite recent fluctuations.
Pine Level remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but there are signs of a gradual transition towards greater diversity. This demographic evolution, coupled with overall positive economic indicators, indicates a community undergoing slow but steady change while maintaining economic stability. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these trends accelerate, potentially shifting the area into a "Moderate Diversity" classification and how this might further impact local economic conditions.
