The zip code 64664 in Mooresville, Missouri, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 91% white. This rural community has undergone demographic and economic changes over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Mooresville maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population remained above 90% throughout most years. Minor changes in diversity occurred: the Hispanic population increased from 0% to 5%, the population of two or more races decreased from 4% to 2%, and a Pacific Islander population of 1% appeared from 2020 onwards. These changes suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Mooresville fluctuated significantly over the decade. It increased from $47,124 in 2013 to $50,416 in 2019, then rose substantially to $73,896 in 2021, before decreasing to $65,832 in 2022. Concurrently, the population declined steadily from 272 in 2013 to 181 in 2022. The inverse relationship between population decline and income increase suggests improved economic conditions for remaining residents.
Mooresville's demographic composition contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The community remains predominantly white while the U.S. as a whole becomes more racially diverse. The gradual increase in Hispanic residents aligns with broader national patterns of growing Hispanic populations in rural areas.
The economic improvements, particularly the income increase in 2021, may reflect national trends of wage growth and economic recovery post-COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in 2022 could indicate local economic challenges or reflect the small sample size of the community.
The declining population is consistent with trends seen in many rural American communities, where younger residents often move to urban areas for education and employment opportunities. This can lead to an aging population and potentially impact the long-term economic viability of small towns.
Mooresville remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority. Subtle demographic shifts and significant economic fluctuations over the past decade suggest a community in transition. The challenge for this Missouri village will be to maintain its economic gains and potentially leverage its slight increase in diversity to attract new residents and stem the population decline.
