The zip code 47041 in Sunman, Indiana, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 96% of the total, surpassing the 75% threshold for this classification. The area has a population of 6,064 and a median income of $66,617.
Sunman has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. The white population has remained above 94% from 2013 to 2022, with minor fluctuations. No significant transitions between diversity categories have occurred during this period.
Minor demographic shifts have been observed. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2017, before decreasing to 1% in 2022. From 2020 onwards, there has been a small increase in individuals identifying as two or more races, rising from 0% to 2% by 2022.
The median income in Sunman has fluctuated over the years. It showed an upward trend from $64,782 in 2013 to $74,162 in 2021, followed by a significant drop to $66,617 in 2022. These economic changes do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Population trends indicate a slight decline from 6,378 in 2010 to 6,064 in 2022, a decrease of about 4.9%. This modest population loss has not substantially altered the racial composition or economic status of the area.
Sunman's demographic profile contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. Its persistent "Low Diversity" classification suggests it may be more representative of rural Midwestern communities that have maintained homogeneous populations.
The median income of $66,617 in 2022 is slightly above the national median household income, indicating that despite its rural setting and lack of diversity, Sunman maintains a relatively stable economic position.
In conclusion, Sunman remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community despite minor fluctuations in its Hispanic population and a recent small increase in multiracial residents. The area's economic trends have not significantly impacted its demographic composition. This stability in racial makeup, coupled with above-average median income, suggests a community that has been relatively insulated from broader national trends towards increasing diversity and urbanization.
