Zip code 59747, representing Pony in Montana, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority". As of 2022, the white population constitutes 81% of the total, with a Hispanic presence of 6%. The area has 16 residents in 2022, with a median income of $53,035.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Pony has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority". The white population has remained above 80% for most of the observed years, with slight fluctuations. From 2013 to 2015, the white population was at 93%. In 2016 and 2017, it reached 100%. It decreased to 93% in 2018, then returned to 100% in 2019 and 2020. In 2021-2022, there was a slight decrease to 87% and then 81%, indicating a minor shift towards increased diversity.
The most notable change is the emergence of a Hispanic population in 2021 (7%) and 2022 (6%), which represents the first significant presence of a non-white racial group in the data set.
The median income in Pony has shown volatility over the years. It peaked at $52,765 in 2019, dropped slightly in 2020, and then decreased to $46,333 in 2021. In 2022, it rebounded to $53,035, which is the highest recorded in the dataset. The population has remained small, fluctuating between 13 and 16 residents over the decade. This small population size means that minor changes in residents can significantly impact demographic percentages and median income figures.
Pony has maintained its low diversity status. This is common for very small, rural communities, especially in states like Montana which have historically had a predominantly white population. The slight increase in diversity observed in 2021-2022 with the introduction of a Hispanic population could be seen as a "Transitional Community" indicator, albeit on a very small scale given the tiny population size. This minimal shift towards diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, even in traditionally homogeneous areas.
The median income has generally remained above $40,000 throughout the decade, which is notable for such a small community. The 2022 figure of $53,035 is close to the national median household income, suggesting that despite its small size and rural nature, Pony maintains a relatively stable economic status.
Pony remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority". Recent years have shown the earliest signs of potential demographic shifts. However, given the extremely small population, these changes should be interpreted cautiously. The economic stability of the area, as reflected in the median income, suggests a community that has maintained its socio-economic status despite its limited size and relative isolation.
