The zip code 59711 in Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Montana, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The area is predominantly white, with 90% of the population identifying as such. This reflects a consistent pattern of racial homogeneity over the past decade, with only minor fluctuations in the racial composition.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, the zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area. The white population has consistently comprised over 90% of the total, indicating minimal racial demographic shifts. There has been a slight decrease in the white population from 92% in 2013 to 90% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. These changes suggest a very slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, though not enough to shift the area out of the "Low Diversity" category.
The median income in the area has fluctuated over the years. In 2013, it was $44,992. It peaked at $47,884 in 2017, reached a low of $44,520 in 2019, and was $45,767 in 2022. There is no clear consistent upward or downward trend in median income. The fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight overall increase from 8,373 in 2013 to 8,522 in 2022. This suggests that the area is not experiencing significant in-migration or out-migration that might dramatically alter its demographic makeup.
The zip code 59711 appears to be maintaining its demographic composition with only minor changes. This is not uncommon for rural areas in states like Montana, which tend to have less diverse populations compared to national averages. The median income in this zip code ($45,767 in 2022) is significantly lower than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that the area may face economic challenges compared to more prosperous regions of the country.
In conclusion, while there are slight indications of increasing diversity, the zip code 59711 remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area with relatively stable economic indicators. The slow pace of demographic change and the consistent economic picture suggest that this community has not experienced the rapid diversification or economic shifts seen in some other parts of the United States over the past decade.
