The zip code 55316 in Champlin, Minnesota, is classified as a "White Majority" community with "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The area has a population of 23,715 and a median household income of $102,918, indicating an affluent suburban setting.
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community. The white population has decreased from 88% in 2013 to 79% in 2022. The Black population has increased from 3% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The Asian population has increased from 2% to 5%. The percentage of people identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% to 4%.
These changes suggest a gradual evolution towards increased diversity, though the area remains predominantly white. The consistent growth in minority populations indicates a trend towards a "Transitional Community," although it has not yet reached the threshold for "Moderate Diversity."
The demographic shifts correlate with changes in median income. Median income has increased from $93,291 in 2013 to $102,918 in 2022, an increase of about 10%. There was a spike in median income in 2021 to $117,051, followed by a decrease in 2022. The overall trend shows consistent economic growth in the area.
The increasing diversity coincides with rising median incomes, suggesting that the area is attracting affluent minority families. This could indicate broader trends of suburban diversification and the growth of middle and upper-middle-class minority populations.
These trends align with patterns observed in many American suburbs, including increasing diversity in traditionally white suburban areas, rising incomes often associated with an influx of educated professionals from various racial backgrounds, and the gradual transition of suburbs from "Low Diversity" to more diverse communities.
The changes in Champlin appear to be part of a larger national trend of suburban diversification, occurring at a slower pace than some more rapidly changing areas. The community seems to be in the early stages of a demographic transition that could lead to greater diversity in the coming years, while maintaining its economic prosperity.
