Zip code 63119 in Webster Groves, Missouri, is classified as a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The area has a population of 34,537 and a median income of $99,260. The white population comprises 79% of the total, with other racial groups present, indicating a gradual increase in diversity over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Webster Groves has maintained its "White Majority" status, but has shown a trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 85% in 2013 to 79% in 2022. This change suggests a "Transitional Community" in terms of racial composition.
The most significant demographic changes include an increase in the "Two or More Races" category from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 2% to 3%, a stable Asian population at around 2%, and a consistent Black population at about 7-8%. These trends indicate movement towards "Moderate Diversity," primarily through increases in multiracial and Hispanic populations.
The demographic shifts have occurred alongside economic growth. The median income rose from $89,999 in 2013 to $99,260 in 2022, an increase of about 10.3%. The population grew from 33,703 in 2013 to 34,537 in 2022, a 2.5% increase. This combination of rising incomes, population growth, and increasing diversity may indicate that Webster Groves is attracting diverse, affluent residents.
The trends in Webster Groves align with patterns seen in many affluent suburban areas across the United States. Many such communities are experiencing gradual increases in diversity, often driven by the growth of multiracial families and the attraction of diverse, high-income professionals.
The relatively stable Black population percentage and the gradual increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations mirror national trends of suburban diversification. However, the rate of change in Webster Groves appears to be slower than in many rapidly diversifying suburbs, suggesting a more gradual transition.
The consistent economic growth, as evidenced by the rising median income, indicates that this demographic shift is occurring in a context of economic stability and prosperity. This could potentially lead to a more inclusive community over time, as economic barriers that often accompany racial segregation may be less pronounced in this affluent area.
Webster Groves remains a "White Majority" community but shows signs of being a "Transitional Community" moving towards greater diversity. This transition is occurring gradually and in tandem with economic growth, suggesting a stable integration process. True integration, however, would require examining factors such as community engagement, educational equity, and social cohesion, which are beyond the scope of the provided data.
