Over the past decade, Winterset has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has decreased slightly from 97% in 2013 to 94% in 2022, indicating a gradual diversification trend. The Hispanic population has grown from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, with a peak of 4% in 2021. The Black population and those identifying as two or more races have each increased to 1% and 2% respectively by 2022.
The median income in Winterset has increased from $57,868 in 2013 to $68,422 in 2022, representing an 18% growth over the decade. This growth has been accompanied by fluctuations. Periods of higher diversity correlate with some of the higher median income figures, suggesting a potential association between increased diversity and economic growth in the area.
The population has grown steadily over the decade, from 7,887 in 2013 to 8,467 in 2022, an increase of about 7.4%. This population growth, combined with the slight increase in diversity and rising median income, may indicate a gradually changing economic landscape.
Winterset remains significantly less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino, population of the United States was about 59.3%, compared to Winterset's 94%. The median household income in Winterset ($68,422 in 2022) is comparable to the national median of $69,021 (as of 2021).
Winterset remains a "Low Diversity" community, with subtle signs of demographic changes that could lead to increased diversity in the future. These changes, coupled with steady population growth and increasing median income, suggest a slowly evolving community. The pace of change is gradual, and it would likely take many more years of consistent trends for Winterset to transition to a more diverse demographic category.
