Zip code 44905 in Mansfield, Ohio, is classified as a "White Majority" community with low to moderate diversity as of 2022. The area has a population of 14,746 and a median income of $49,806. The white population constitutes 78% of the total, while the Black population accounts for 12% and the Hispanic presence is at 5%.
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community. However, subtle shifts in its racial composition suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity. The white population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 76-79% from 2013 to 2022. The Black population has slightly decreased from 15% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown consistent growth, increasing from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has also seen an increase from 3% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.
The median income in this zip code has shown a general upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $43,215. It reached a peak of $51,271 in 2021 before slightly decreasing to $49,806 in 2022. This overall increase in median income correlates with the gradual diversification of the community. As the Hispanic population has grown and the "Two or More Races" category has expanded, the economic situation of the area has generally improved.
Population trends show a slight decline from 16,189 in 2010 to 14,746 in 2022. This modest population decrease, coupled with increasing diversity and rising incomes, might indicate a shift in the community's composition, possibly due to changing job markets or housing affordability.
The trends observed in this zip code align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations is consistent with national demographic shifts. However, the area's continued strong white majority sets it apart from more rapidly diversifying urban centers.
The economic improvement, as evidenced by the rising median income, is also in line with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the slight dip in median income from 2021 to 2022 could reflect more recent economic challenges faced nationwide.
Zip code 44905 in Mansfield, Ohio, remains a "White Majority" area, but shows signs of gradually transitioning towards greater diversity. This demographic evolution, coupled with overall positive economic trends, suggests a community in slow but steady transformation. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these trends continue, potentially leading to a more diverse and economically robust community.
