Zip code 43430 in Genoa, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 4,929 and a median income of $69,637. This rural community has experienced minor demographic changes over the past decade, slowly moving towards increased diversity while maintaining its predominantly white population.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the community has consistently maintained a "White Majority" status, with the white population never falling below 85%. There has been a gradual decrease in the white population percentage from 92% in 2013 to 85% in 2022. The most significant demographic shift has been the steady increase in the Hispanic population, from 4% in 2013 to 13% in 2022. This trend suggests the community may be transitioning towards a "Moderate Diversity" status in the future, though it currently remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
Other racial groups, including Black, Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander populations, have maintained very low percentages throughout the decade, often at or near 0%. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has remained relatively stable, hovering around 1-2% throughout the period.
The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $66,782 in 2013 to $69,637 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This represents a modest growth of about 4.3% over the decade. The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 4,756 in 2013 to 4,929 in 2022, representing a small growth of about 3.6%. The gradual increase in median income coincides with the slow diversification of the community, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population.
The slow pace of diversification in this community is consistent with broader trends in many rural American areas, which often experience demographic changes more gradually than urban centers. The increase in the Hispanic population aligns with national trends, as the Hispanic population has been one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the United States over the past decade. The modest income growth in this community may be slightly below national averages, as many areas have seen more substantial increases in median income over the past decade.
While still categorized as "Low Diversity," the community shows signs of slowly transitioning towards increased diversity. This gradual change suggests a community in the early stages of demographic shift, which could have implications for local services, businesses, and community dynamics in the coming years. In conclusion, while Genoa maintains its status as a predominantly white, low-diversity community, subtle demographic shifts, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, hint at a gradual transition towards increased diversity. These changes, coupled with modest economic growth, suggest a community slowly evolving while maintaining its core demographic character.
