The zip code 44436 in Lowellville, Ohio, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 92% white, with a median income of $64,568. The community's population was 4,696 in 2022, showing subtle demographic shifts over the past decade while maintaining its predominantly white character.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Lowellville has consistently been classified as "Low Diversity" and "White Majority." The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 95% in 2013 to 92% in 2022. The Hispanic population has gradually increased from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022, suggesting a slow transition towards increased diversity. The black population has remained relatively stable between 1-2% throughout the decade. Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander populations have remained negligible or unreported during this period.
The median income in Lowellville has shown some fluctuation, increasing from $62,712 in 2013 to $64,568 in 2022, representing a modest 3% growth over nine years. The median income peaked at $73,692 in 2021 before declining in 2022. The gradual increase in Hispanic population coincides with a period of relative economic stability and slight growth, though a causal relationship cannot be definitively established without further investigation.
The population has declined from 5,052 in 2013 to 4,696 in 2022, a decrease of about 7%. This decline may be influencing the community's economic and demographic composition.
In comparison to broader trends, Lowellville's slow increase in Hispanic residents aligns with the national trend of increasing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace than many urban or suburban areas. The community has maintained relatively stable median incomes despite population decline, which is positive compared to many small, rural communities facing economic challenges. The rate of demographic change in Lowellville appears slower than national averages, which may be typical for smaller, more rural communities.
In conclusion, Lowellville remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." Subtle shifts towards increased Hispanic representation and slight economic growth suggest the beginnings of a very gradual transition. These changes, though small, may have implications for local services, community dynamics, and future economic development strategies in the coming years.
