The percentage of white residents has slightly decreased from 91% in 2013 to 89% in 2022. The Hispanic community has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2-4% of the population over the decade. The category of two or more races has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. There have been small increases in Asian, Black, and Native American populations, each growing from 0-1% to 1-2% over the decade.
The economic landscape of the zip code has shown positive growth over the past decade. There has been a significant increase in median income from $49,575 in 2013 to $60,429 in 2022, representing a growth of about 22% over nine years. The population has grown from 15,207 in 2013 to 16,514 in 2022, an increase of about 8.6%.
The growth in median income outpaces the population growth, suggesting an overall improvement in the economic conditions of the area. This economic growth may be contributing to the slow increase in diversity, potentially attracting new residents from various backgrounds.
The trend of slow diversification in predominantly white areas is consistent with broader national trends. The economic growth observed in this zip code appears to be stronger than the national average. The U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2021 (adjusted for inflation), while this zip code saw a 22% increase over a similar period. The population growth of 8.6% over nine years is also notable, as it outpaces the U.S. average population growth rate, which has been around 0.5% annually in recent years.
Webb City (zip code 64870) remains a low diversity area with a strong white majority. It is experiencing gradual demographic shifts towards increased diversity. These changes, coupled with significant economic growth and population increase, suggest a community in transition, albeit at a slow pace. The economic improvements may be a driving factor in attracting a more diverse population, potentially setting the stage for more significant demographic changes in the future.
