The zip code 52584 in Pulaski, Iowa, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 95% white, with minimal representation of other racial groups. The median income is $73,927, and the total population is 291, indicating a small, homogeneous rural community.
Over the past decade, Pulaski has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently comprised over 95% of the total population. There are minor signs of increasing diversity, with the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increasing from 1% in 2013 to 3% by 2020. In 2021 and 2022, a new category of "race_other" appeared, accounting for 6% and 5% of the population respectively. These changes are insufficient to alter the community's diversity classification.
The median income in Pulaski has fluctuated significantly over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was an upward trend, with income rising from $45,833 to $78,591, an increase of about 71%. A slight decline occurred in 2020 and 2021, with the median income reaching $73,927 in 2022. These economic changes do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
The population has fluctuated, growing from 186 in 2010 to 343 in 2021, before declining to 291 in 2022. These population changes have not significantly altered the racial composition of the community.
The persistence of a predominantly white population in Pulaski contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many parts of the United States. The median income growth observed until 2019 aligns with the general economic recovery and growth experienced across much of the U.S. following the 2008 financial crisis. The slight economic decline in 2020-2021 could be related to the broader economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pulaski has experienced some economic fluctuations and minor increases in diversity over the past decade. It remains a predominantly white, "Low Diversity" community. The demographic shifts and economic changes have not been substantial enough to significantly alter the community's overall character or classification. The recent appearance of a small "other" racial category might indicate the early stages of a transition towards slightly more diversity in the future.
