The zip code 59430 in Denton, Montana, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 95% of the total, meeting the criteria for a dominant racial group with over 75% representation. The community has a population of 564 and a median income of $81,699.
Over the past decade, Denton has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 90% from 2013 to 2022, with only minor fluctuations. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition.
Minor demographic shifts have occurred. The Native American population increased slightly from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2020, then decreased to 1% in 2022. The Hispanic population fluctuated between 0% and 3%. The population identifying as two or more races varied between 1% and 6%. These shifts suggest minimal diversification, insufficient to alter the overall "Low Diversity" categorization.
The median income has shown an upward trend over the decade. From 2013 to 2019, it increased from $44,046 to $58,334. A substantial increase occurred between 2019 and 2020, with the median income rising to $81,454. Since 2020, it has remained relatively stable, reaching $81,699 in 2022. This economic improvement does not strongly correlate with demographic changes, given the stable racial composition.
Population figures have fluctuated. The population decreased from 519 in 2010 to 383 in 2016. Since then, there has been a general upward trend, reaching 564 in 2022. The recent population growth, coupled with rising median incomes, may indicate increased attractiveness of the area.
The lack of significant racial diversification in Denton contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The substantial increase in median income, particularly between 2019 and 2020, is noteworthy. The recent population growth, reversing earlier declines, could be indicative of broader trends of migration to smaller towns or rural areas.
In conclusion, Denton has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community over the past decade while experiencing significant economic growth and recent population increases. These changes suggest a community that is economically dynamic despite its stable racial composition.
