The zip code 64673 in Ravanna, Missouri, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 92% identifying as such. The current median income is $58,041, which has increased significantly over the past decade. This rural community has maintained a stable population of approximately 2,500-2,700 residents throughout the analyzed period.
Over the past decade, Ravanna has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category, with the white population comprising over 90% of the total. There has been a slight decrease in the white population from 97% in 2013 to 92% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The "two or more races" category grew from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. These minor changes could potentially indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace.
The economic landscape of Ravanna has seen significant improvements over the analyzed period. The median income increased from $47,523 in 2013 to $58,041 in 2022, representing a 22% increase over nine years. There was a noticeable drop in median income between 2013 and 2015, falling to $41,634. However, the community has since experienced steady growth, surpassing pre-2013 levels. The population has remained relatively stable, suggesting that economic improvements have not led to significant in-migration.
The economic growth does not seem to have dramatically altered the racial composition of the area, indicating that the improvements may have benefited the existing population rather than attracting a more diverse influx of new residents.
The low population density (about 8.4 people per square mile) and high percentage of white residents are typical of many rural Midwestern communities. The 22% income growth over nine years is significant and may outpace national averages, potentially indicating improving economic conditions in this rural area. The gradual increase in diversity, while small, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, even in traditionally homogeneous rural areas.
Ravanna remains a low-diversity, predominantly white community. It shows signs of very gradual demographic shifts coupled with significant economic improvements. These trends suggest a community that is experiencing positive economic development while maintaining its traditional demographic composition, with only subtle indications of potential future diversification.
