Zip code 52548, encompassing Chillicothe in Iowa, has a population of 2 individuals as of 2022, with a median income of $68,467. The area is categorized as "Low Diversity," with 100% of the population reported as white across all years with available data.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, the racial composition of this zip code has remained constant, with 100% of the population identified as white. This puts the area firmly in the "Low Diversity" category, with no transitions or shifts observed over the decade. The stability in racial composition is likely due to the very small population size, which ranges from 2 to 3 individuals throughout the period.
Despite the stable racial demographics, there have been fluctuations in median income. The median income rose from $52,727 in 2013 to a peak of $75,724 in 2017, representing an increase of about 43.6% over four years. After 2017, there was a general downward trend, with some fluctuations, reaching $56,249 in 2021 before rebounding to $68,467 in 2022. The 2022 figure represents a 29.8% increase from the 2013 level, indicating overall economic growth despite recent volatility.
The extremely small population of this zip code makes it challenging to draw broader conclusions or comparisons. However, some observations can be made. The median income in this zip code has consistently remained above the national median income, which was $69,021 in 2022. This suggests that despite its small size, the area maintains a relatively high economic status.
The lack of racial diversity in this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. According to the 2020 Census, the U.S. population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with the white alone population decreasing from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020. The population stability (2-3 individuals over a decade) is unusual and might indicate limited housing availability or other factors restricting population growth.
Zip code 52548 represents an atypical case study due to its extremely small population. While it maintains a "Low Diversity" status with a consistently all-white population, it has experienced significant economic fluctuations over the past decade. These changes likely reflect broader economic trends rather than demographic shifts, given the absence of racial diversity changes. The area's consistently above-average median income suggests a relatively affluent micro-community, though the small sample size makes it difficult to draw broader conclusions about economic trends or demographic patterns.
