Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a Low Diversity area with a White Majority. The white population percentage decreased from 88% in 2013 to 82% in 2022. The Black population increased from 10% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. Hispanic and Two or More Races categories increased to 1% and 2% respectively by 2022. Despite these changes, the area remained in the Low Diversity classification throughout the decade.
The median income fluctuated over the years. It increased from $36,259 in 2013 to a peak of $45,594 in 2021. There was a significant drop to $36,954 in 2022, nearly returning to 2013 levels. These economic changes do not directly correlate with the minor demographic shifts. The increase in diversity has been gradual and consistent, while income has been more volatile.
Population trends show a slight overall increase from 9,794 in 2013 to 9,833 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. The highest population was recorded in 2011 at 10,083.
The area's persistent Low Diversity classification contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The recent sharp drop in median income (2021 to 2022) may reflect broader economic challenges. The slow increase in minority populations, particularly Black residents, might indicate a gradual integration process, though at a much slower pace than seen in many other parts of the country.
Opp (zip code 36467) has seen minor demographic shifts over the past decade, but remains characterized by Low Diversity with a strong White Majority. Economic indicators have been volatile, with recent downturns that may present challenges to the community. The area appears to be changing slowly compared to national trends towards increased diversity, suggesting a more stable, traditional demographic composition in this part of Alabama.
