The zip code 50275 in Woodburn, Iowa, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is 95% white. The current median income is $76,203, which has increased significantly from a decade ago, indicating economic growth in the area.
Woodburn has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. The white population has consistently remained above 89% in all years with available data. There are minor indications of increasing diversity, with a small Hispanic population (2% in 2022) and individuals identifying as two or more races (3% in 2022). Despite these small changes, the community's diversity classification has not shifted.
The median income in Woodburn has shown an upward trend. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $48,370 to $76,203, representing a growth of approximately 57.5%. This economic growth has occurred without significant changes in the racial composition of the community. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 545 and 639 residents over the decade, suggesting that the income growth is not due to a large influx of new residents.
The stability of Woodburn's racial composition contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The significant income growth in Woodburn outpaces the national average wage growth, which has been more modest over the same period. The community's ability to maintain its population while experiencing economic growth is notable, as many small rural communities have faced population decline in recent years.
Woodburn presents a case of economic growth within a stable, low-diversity demographic context. While there are small signs of increasing diversity, the community remains predominantly white. The substantial income growth without major demographic shifts suggests that local economic factors, rather than changing population dynamics, have been the primary driver of improved financial conditions in the area. Future monitoring of the community's evolution will provide insight into whether the nascent diversification trends accelerate and how they might correlate with future economic developments.
