Zip code 55322 in Cologne, Minnesota, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 89% of the total, meeting the criterion for a dominant racial group with over 75% representation. The population has grown from 3,865 in 2010 to 4,502 in 2022. The median income has increased from $86,657 in 2013 to $106,148 in 2022.
The community has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification throughout the observed period. However, minor changes in demographic composition are evident. The white population has decreased from 94% in 2013 to 89% in 2022. The Black population has increased from 0% to 3%, the Hispanic population from 2% to 4%, and the Asian population has emerged at 1% by 2022. The population identifying as two or more races has grown from 1% to 2%.
The demographic shifts have occurred concurrently with significant economic growth. The median income increase of 22.5% from 2013 to 2022 suggests overall economic prosperity. This economic growth may be both a cause and effect of the subtle demographic changes. Higher incomes may attract a more diverse population, increased diversity might contribute to economic growth, and rising incomes could potentially slow the pace of diversification.
The community's income growth exceeds national averages, indicating a relatively prosperous local economy. The slow pace of diversification aligns with trends in many suburban and rural areas. The steady population growth suggests the area is attractive to new residents, which could further influence demographic changes.
Cologne (zip code 55322) remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. However, subtle demographic shifts and strong economic growth suggest it may be in the early stages of transition. If current trends continue, the area may evolve towards moderate diversity in the coming years, potentially bringing both opportunities and challenges as the community adapts to a changing demographic landscape.
