The zip code 56686 in Williams, Minnesota, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 92% identifying as such. The current median income is $64,218, and the population stands at 894.
Over the past decade, Williams has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has consistently comprised over 90% of the total population. However, subtle shifts towards increased diversity have occurred. In 2013, 96% of the population identified as white, decreasing to 92% by 2022. The Native American population has gradually increased from no significant representation to 3% by 2022. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has also increased, from 1-2% in earlier years to 5% in 2020 and 2021, before slightly decreasing to 3% in 2022.
The median income in Williams has fluctuated over the years. In 2013, it was $50,357, peaking in 2021 at $73,222, and then decreasing to $64,218 in 2022. The slight increase in diversity coincides with an overall upward trend in median income, despite the recent decrease. Population trends have been relatively stable, fluctuating between 813 and 958 residents over the past decade.
The gradual increase in diversity in Williams aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in rural communities. However, the pace of change appears to be slower than what might be observed in more urban or suburban areas. The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent decrease in median income, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by rural communities. However, the overall increase in median income over the decade suggests that Williams has experienced some economic growth.
In conclusion, while Williams remains a "Low Diversity" community, subtle demographic shifts and economic changes over the past decade indicate a slow transition towards increased diversity. These changes, though gradual, may have implications for local services, community dynamics, and future economic development in the area.
