The zip code 59072 in Klein, Montana, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is 91% white. The median income is $42,849, and the total population is 3,827 residents.
Over the past decade, Klein has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has remained above 90% with minor fluctuations. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The Native American population grew from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increased from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. These changes suggest a gradual trend towards increased diversity, though not enough to change the community's diversity category.
The median income in Klein has fluctuated over the past decade. It decreased from $42,469 in 2013 to $37,631 in 2017. Since then, it has generally increased, reaching $48,636 in 2021 before settling at $42,849 in 2022. These economic shifts do not appear strongly correlated with the minor demographic changes observed. The population has remained relatively stable, growing from 3,754 in 2013 to 3,827 in 2022.
Klein's persistent "Low Diversity" status contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The median income of $42,849 in 2022 is below the national median household income of approximately $70,784 in 2021. The slight increase in Hispanic and Native American populations aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in rural areas, albeit at a much slower pace than urban centers.
Klein shows signs of gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The economic fluctuations over the past decade do not appear directly linked to these minor demographic shifts, suggesting other local or regional economic factors may be more influential. The area's demographic and economic profile indicates a relatively stable, rural community that is changing at a slower pace than many other parts of the country.
