The demographic makeup of this zip code differs significantly from national averages. The United States as a whole has been trending towards greater diversity, with the white population decreasing as a percentage of the total. In contrast, Climbing Hill has maintained its high percentage of white residents, resisting the national trend towards increased diversity.
The income growth in this area appears to be outpacing national averages. However, this economic growth has not led to significant changes in the racial makeup of the community, suggesting strong cultural or social factors maintaining the current demographic structure.
Climbing Hill has experienced notable economic growth over the past decade, while its racial demographics have remained remarkably stable, maintaining its classification as a "Low Diversity" community. The brief increase in Hispanic population mid-decade did not result in a lasting shift towards greater diversity. This stability in racial composition, coupled with significant income growth, indicates a community that is evolving economically while maintaining its traditional demographic character.
