The zip code 47165 in New Pekin, Indiana, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area as of 2022. The population is 96% white. The median income is $63,508, which has decreased slightly from the previous year but increased over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, the area has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 95%. No significant transitions between diversity categories have occurred, indicating a stable racial composition.
There are minor indications of gradual diversification. The Hispanic population has maintained approximately 2% since 2015. The category of "two or more races" appeared in 2016 and has remained at about 1%. In 2022, a 1% representation of the Black population was recorded for the first time in the available data.
The median income in the area has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $56,904 in 2013 to $63,508 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. A significant increase to $74,432 occurred in 2021 before returning to a level more consistent with the overall trend in 2022.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 6,300 and 6,900 residents over the decade. There does not appear to be a strong correlation between population changes and racial composition or income levels.
The stability in racial composition and population, combined with the generally increasing median income, suggests economic growth without significant demographic change.
The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization of this area contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many parts of the United States. The gradual increase in median income over the decade is consistent with broader economic recovery and growth trends following the 2008 financial crisis. The stability of the population suggests that this area has not experienced significant in-migration or out-migration.
New Pekin has experienced some economic improvements over the past decade, while its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged, maintaining its status as a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The subtle increases in minority representation may be worth monitoring for potential future shifts in the area's diversity profile.
