The zip code 45871 in New Knoxville, Ohio, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is 96% white, a demographic composition that has remained stable over the past decade with minor fluctuations in racial diversity.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, New Knoxville has maintained a "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently comprised over 95% of the total. There have been minimal changes in other racial groups, with slight increases in the Hispanic and two or more races categories, but these changes are not significant enough to alter the overall demographic categorization.
The community has not transitioned between diversity categories during this period, indicating a stable racial composition. This stability suggests that the area has not experienced significant immigration or demographic shifts that might lead to increased diversity.
Economic trends in the community show notable changes. The median income has increased from $55,368 in 2013 to $69,370 in 2022, representing a growth of about 25% over nine years. The population has fluctuated, starting at 2,162 in 2013, peaking at 2,316 in 2019, and decreasing to 2,134 in 2022. The periods of highest population do not necessarily correspond with the highest median incomes, which were recorded in 2021 and 2022.
The demographic stability of New Knoxville is typical of many rural, predominantly white communities in the Midwest. The steady increase in median income aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The slight population decline in recent years might reflect broader trends of rural population loss to urban areas. The persistent low diversity in this community contrasts with national trends towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity, particularly in urban and suburban areas.
New Knoxville presents a picture of demographic stability with economic growth. While the racial composition has remained largely unchanged, the community has experienced notable income growth. This suggests that economic development has occurred without significant changes in the racial makeup of the population. The slight population decline in recent years, despite income growth, may warrant further investigation into factors affecting community retention and attraction.
