The zip code 45808 in Beaverdam, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The area has a population of 33 people, with 85% being white and 12% Hispanic. The current median income is $65,406.
Beaverdam has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. From 2013 to 2020, the white population consistently exceeded 96%. Recent years show evidence of a "Transitional Community" emerging. The Hispanic population, previously not measurably present, grew from 3% in 2021 to 12% in 2022, indicating the beginning of a trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Beaverdam has grown significantly over the past decade. It increased from $48,392 in 2013 to $74,229 in 2021, before settling at $65,406 in 2022. This represents a 35% increase over the decade, outpacing inflation. The most rapid income growth coincided with the emergence of Hispanic residents in the community.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 27 and 38 residents over the decade. The slight population growth from 27 in 2020 to 33 in 2022 coincides with the increase in Hispanic residents, suggesting that new arrivals may be contributing to both demographic diversification and population growth.
The trend of increasing diversity in Beaverdam aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity across the United States. However, the extremely small population of Beaverdam makes it more susceptible to significant percentage changes from even minor shifts in absolute numbers.
The income growth in Beaverdam may reflect broader economic improvements in rural Ohio or nationwide economic recovery post-2008 recession. However, the small population size means that changes in just a few households could significantly impact the median income.
Beaverdam remains a "Low Diversity" community, but there are signs of it becoming a "Transitional Community" with increasing Hispanic representation. This demographic shift coincides with notable economic improvements, as evidenced by rising median incomes. These changes, though small in absolute numbers, represent significant shifts for this community and may indicate further diversification and economic development in the future.
