Zip code 56016, corresponding to Clarks Grove, Minnesota, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022, with a predominantly white population. The community has 803 residents and a median income of $73,394, representing a substantial increase over the past decade.
Over the past ten years, Clarks Grove has maintained its status as a predominantly white community, but has experienced a gradual trend towards increasing diversity. In 2013, the area was classified as having "Low Diversity" with 97% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, while still in the "Low Diversity" category, the white population decreased to 85%, indicating a slow but steady diversification.
The most significant demographic changes include an increase in the Asian population from 0% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, the emergence of a small black population (1% by 2022), and a rise in individuals identifying as two or more races, from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. These changes, while not substantial enough to shift the community into a new diversity category, suggest a trend towards a "Transitional Community" if these patterns continue.
The demographic shifts coincide with significant economic changes. The median income rose from $58,290 in 2013 to $73,394 in 2022, an increase of about 26%. This income growth outpaced inflation, suggesting real economic improvement for residents. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 750-815 residents over the decade.
The increasing diversity correlates with rising median incomes, which could indicate that the community is attracting a more diverse, skilled workforce. This trend might be driven by economic opportunities or changing social dynamics in the broader region.
These trends align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The income growth in Clarks Grove is noteworthy, potentially outpacing national averages and suggesting a robust local economy.
The gradual increase in diversity, coupled with rising incomes, may indicate that Clarks Grove is becoming more attractive to a wider range of residents. This could be due to factors such as job opportunities, quality of life improvements, or changing perceptions of the community.
If these trends continue, Clarks Grove may transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years, potentially bringing new cultural influences and economic opportunities to the area. However, the community remains predominantly white, and significant changes in community composition would likely occur gradually over many years.
