The zip code 44633 in Holmesville, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 97% white, with a median income of $70,662. This income figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year but an overall increase over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, the zip code has consistently maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has remained above 97% throughout this period, indicating minimal racial diversity. However, subtle signs of slow diversification are emerging, including the introduction of a small Hispanic population (1% in 2020, increasing to 2% by 2022), the emergence of a small Black population (1% in 2022), and the appearance of a two or more races category (1% in 2022). These minimal changes could potentially indicate the beginning of a "Transitional Community" status, albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income in this zip code has shown overall growth from 2013 to 2022, despite some fluctuations. In 2013, it was $65,441, reaching a peak of $76,214 in 2018, before settling at $70,662 in 2022. This represents an overall increase of about 8% over the decade, suggesting modest economic growth. The population has also fluctuated, from 2,258 in 2013 to a peak of 2,649 in 2015, and then to 2,339 in 2022. Despite these fluctuations, the overall population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase of about 3.6% from 2013 to 2022.
The persistent lack of diversity in this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The modest income growth over the decade is positive but may not have kept pace with national averages, especially considering inflation. The stability of the population suggests that this community hasn't experienced significant in-migration or out-migration, which is notable in an era where many rural areas are losing population to urban centers.
In conclusion, while Holmesville (44633) remains a "Low Diversity" community, there are early signs of potential demographic shifts. The area has experienced modest economic growth over the past decade, but recent slight declines in both population and median income warrant monitoring. As the community shows the first signs of diversification, it will be interesting to observe how these demographic and economic trends evolve in the coming years and whether they begin to align more closely with broader national patterns of increasing diversity and urbanization.
