This zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade.

The population has also grown steadily, increasing from 4,493 in 2013 to 5,644 in 2022, a 25.6% increase.

The trends observed in this zip code reflect some broader national patterns. Suburban and rural areas with predominantly white populations are slowly becoming more diverse, though at a much slower rate than urban centers. The increase in Hispanic population aligns with national trends of Hispanic population growth across many regions of the United States. The significant income growth may be indicative of broader economic trends in certain suburban and rural areas that have become attractive to higher-income professionals. The population growth rate of 25.6% over a decade is notably higher than the national average, which typically hovers around 7-8% per decade.
While Hartsburg remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," subtle demographic shifts and significant economic growth over the past decade suggest the potential for gradual changes in the community's composition. The area's attractiveness, as evidenced by population and income growth, may continue to draw a more diverse population in the coming years, potentially accelerating its transition towards greater diversity.
