This study examines the demographic profile of zip code 64689, which includes Winston in Missouri. As of 2022, the community exhibits Low Diversity with a White Majority population of 99%. The median income in 2022 was $62,135, and the population was 426 residents.
From 2013 to 2022, Winston maintained its status as a White Majority community with Low Diversity. The white population remained above 95% throughout this period, with a slight increase to 99% in recent years. Minor fluctuations occurred in other racial categories, but these did not significantly alter the overall demographic landscape. The Black population briefly reached 1% in 2016-2018 but returned to 0% in subsequent years. The Hispanic population fluctuated between 0% and 2% throughout the decade.
The community has consistently remained in the Low Diversity category throughout the observed period. Despite static racial demographics, Winston experienced notable economic changes. The median income increased from $48,715 in 2013 to $62,135 in 2022, representing a 27.5% increase over the decade. This economic improvement occurred alongside modest population growth, from 389 in 2013 to 426 in 2022, a 9.5% increase.
The persistent White Majority and Low Diversity status of Winston contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many parts of the United States. However, the economic growth observed in Winston aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession.
The stability in racial demographics coupled with economic growth suggests that Winston has maintained its traditional community structure while benefiting from broader economic trends. This scenario may be more common in rural or small-town settings where demographic changes often occur more slowly than in urban areas.
Winston presents a case of demographic stability with economic growth. While it has not experienced the demographic shifts seen in many other parts of the country, its residents appear to have benefited from improving economic conditions over the past decade. This combination of factors may contribute to a sense of community continuity alongside financial progress for its predominantly white population.
