The zip code 36583 in Tibbie, Alabama, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 88% white. The median income is $44,802, which has decreased from the previous year but increased over the past decade.
Tibbie has experienced demographic changes over the past decade. In 2013, the community was 98% white. From 2014 to 2020, diversity increased. The white population decreased to 65% by 2020, while the Black population increased to 29%. From 2021 to 2022, this trend reversed, with the white population increasing to 88% and the Black population decreasing to 11%.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. From 2013 to 2016, as diversity slightly increased, median income decreased from $34,202 to $29,466. From 2017 to 2020, during the period of highest diversity, median income increased from $31,156 to $44,552. In 2021 and 2022, as diversity decreased, median income peaked at $48,115 in 2021 and then decreased to $44,802 in 2022.
These trends can be contextualized within broader national patterns. Many rural areas in the United States have experienced demographic shifts due to migration patterns and changing economic opportunities. The brief period of increased diversity in Tibbie could be related to temporary economic opportunities that attracted a more diverse workforce, followed by a reversal as these opportunities changed.
The overall increase in median income over the decade, despite fluctuations, aligns with national trends of gradual economic recovery following the 2008 recession. The recent decrease in population from 545 in 2019 to 359 in 2022 could indicate outmigration, possibly related to changing economic conditions or broader rural-to-urban migration trends seen in many parts of the country.
Tibbie presents a case of a community that experienced a temporary increase in diversity before reverting to its original demographic composition. This demographic evolution appears to have some correlation with economic trends, highlighting the interplay between racial composition and economic factors in small rural communities.
