The zip code 36453 in Kinston, Alabama, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 93% white. The median income is $42,040, which has increased over the past decade. The rural community has maintained a relatively stable population.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Kinston has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has never dropped below 90%. Minor fluctuations in other racial groups have occurred, but not enough to change the community's diversity classification.
Some subtle changes have been observed: a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2020, before returning to 2% in 2022; variability in the Native American population, peaking at 4% in 2020 before declining to 1% in 2022; and the emergence of an Asian population, increasing from 0% to 1% in the last two years of the analysis. These minor shifts suggest a very slow trend towards increased diversity, but not enough to alter the overall categorization of the community.
The median income in Kinston has shown an upward trend over the decade, increasing from $35,218 in 2013 to $42,040 in 2022, representing a growth of about 19.4%. This growth suggests a stable economic environment. The income growth does not strongly correlate with significant demographic shifts, likely due to minimal changes in racial composition.
The persistence of a predominantly white population (93%) in Kinston contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The median income growth of 19.4% over a decade is positive but may be lower than national averages. The stability of the racial composition might indicate limited in-migration or out-migration compared to more dynamic areas.
Kinston presents a stable, predominantly white rural community with gradual economic improvement but minimal demographic change. This stability may provide continuity for long-term residents but could present challenges in adapting to broader national trends. The community may need to consider strategies for attracting a more diverse population or fostering greater economic opportunities to align more closely with national trends in the future.
