The zip code 66021 in Edgerton, Kansas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 88% white. Over the past decade, there has been a gradual shift towards becoming a "Transitional Community," with a slow increase in the Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races.
From 2013 to 2022, Edgerton maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with the white population representing over 75% of the total. The white population decreased from 93% in 2013 to 88% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 3% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The population identifying as two or more races doubled from 1% to 2% over the same period.
The demographic shifts in Edgerton correlate with economic changes. Median income increased from $66,994 in 2013 to $79,887 in 2022, a 19.2% growth. The population grew from 2,989 in 2013 to 3,369 in 2022, a 12.7% increase.
The rising median income suggests economic growth in the area, which may be attracting a more diverse population. The increase in Hispanic residents could be tied to new job opportunities in the region.
The trend of increasing diversity, particularly growth in Hispanic populations, is consistent with broader national demographic shifts in many parts of the United States. The significant increase in median income (19.2% over 9 years) outpaces typical wage growth rates. The modest population growth (12.7% over 9 years) indicates that Edgerton is attracting new residents.
Edgerton remains a "Low Diversity" community but shows signs of gradual transition towards greater diversity. This demographic shift correlates with substantial economic growth, as evidenced by rising median incomes and population growth. These trends suggest that Edgerton may be evolving into a more economically vibrant and diverse community, albeit at a slower pace than some rapidly changing urban areas across the country.
