The zip code 63050 in Hillsboro, Missouri, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 16,474 and a median income of $74,755. This demographic profile suggests a relatively affluent suburban or rural setting.
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." However, subtle signs of a gradual shift towards slightly increased diversity are evident. The White population decreased from 96% in 2013 to 92% in 2022, while remaining in the "Low Diversity" category. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1-3% over the years. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, indicating a growing multiracial presence.
The Black population showed a slight increase from 0% to 1% over the decade, and the Asian population emerged at 1% in 2022, having not been previously represented. These changes, while minimal, suggest the area may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income in the area has shown significant growth, increasing from $66,116 in 2013 to $74,755 in 2022. This represents a 13% increase over nine years, outpacing inflation and suggesting economic improvement in the area. The population has also grown from 14,751 in 2013 to 16,474 in 2022, an 11.7% increase.
The economic growth correlates with the subtle increase in diversity, potentially indicating that the area is attracting a slightly more diverse population as it becomes more prosperous. However, the changes are not dramatic enough to significantly alter the community's demographic makeup.
This zip code appears to be changing at a much slower rate than the national average in terms of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization suggests that this area may be more resistant to demographic changes than other parts of the country.
The economic growth in this zip code is notable, especially given the challenges many rural and small-town areas have faced in recent years. This could indicate that Hillsboro is benefiting from proximity to larger economic centers or has successfully developed local industries.
In conclusion, while the 63050 zip code remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," there are early indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. This shift, coupled with significant economic growth, suggests that the area may be at the beginning of a long-term transition. However, any substantial demographic changes are likely to occur over a much longer period than the decade analyzed here.
