Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), Alzada has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." The white population has remained above 94% throughout this period, with minimal fluctuations. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories over the years. In 2022, a small Hispanic population (1%) appeared, which was not present or recorded in previous years.
The median income in Alzada has fluctuated over the years. It increased from $38,689 in 2013 to a peak of $52,499 in 2019. A significant drop to $43,280 occurred in 2020, which has remained relatively stable through 2022. This economic trend does not appear to correlate strongly with the minimal demographic shifts observed.
Population trends show a slight decline from 234 in 2010 to a low of 183 in 2015, followed by a gradual increase to 219 in 2022. This recent population growth has not significantly impacted the racial composition of the area.
The extreme racial homogeneity of Alzada is unusual compared to national trends, which have been moving towards greater diversity in many areas. The median income has generally remained below the national median income, suggesting that this is a relatively low-income area. The area's population density is extremely low. With 219 people in a 943.3 square mile area, it is far below the national average, indicating a very rural setting.
The lack of significant demographic change over a decade is noteworthy, as many rural areas in the U.S. have experienced demographic shifts due to factors like urbanization or changing economic conditions. Alzada represents a stable, predominantly white, rural community that has maintained its demographic composition despite some economic fluctuations. While there are hints of potential future changes with the small Hispanic population emerging in 2022, the area remains characterized by low diversity and demographic stability, contrasting with broader national trends towards increasing diversity.
