The zip code 47036 in Hamburg, Indiana, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area as of 2022. The population is 92% white, a characteristic that has remained consistent over the past decade. This indicates a stable racial composition in the community.
From 2013 to 2022, Hamburg has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently comprised over 90% of the total. However, subtle shifts have occurred. The white population decreased from 96% to 92%, indicating a marginal increase in racial diversity. By 2020, data for individuals identifying as two or more races became available, accounting for 3-4% of the population in recent years. The Hispanic population has maintained a small but steady presence, fluctuating between 0-3% throughout the decade. In 2021-2022, a 3% Asian population emerged, which was not present or recorded in earlier years.
The median income in Hamburg has shown an upward trend over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $62,208 to $82,091, representing a 32% growth over nine years. The median income peaked in 2020 at $83,120 before slightly decreasing in the following years. The population has fluctuated over the years, with a general downward trend from 829 in 2013 to 714 in 2022.
The slight increase in diversity coincides with the overall increase in median income. This could suggest that the small influx of diverse residents might be associated with economic opportunities or changes in the local economy.
The income growth in Hamburg outpaces the national average, which typically sees slower year-over-year increases. The persistent low diversity in this area contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many communities across the United States. The slight population decline may reflect broader trends of rural or small-town population loss seen in many parts of the Midwest.
Hamburg has maintained its status as a low-diversity area with a strong white majority. Subtle shifts towards increased diversity are emerging. These demographic changes, coupled with significant income growth, suggest a community that is experiencing gradual economic and social evolution, albeit at a slower pace than many more urban or diverse areas of the country.
