The zip code 66086 in Tonganoxie, Kansas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 83% white, with a median income of $88,822. This community has undergone demographic and economic changes in the past decade.
Over the last ten years, Tonganoxie has remained a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority". However, there are indications of a gradual increase in diversity. The white population decreased from 93% in 2013 to 83% in 2022. The Hispanic population grew from 2% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, showing the largest increase among minority groups. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022.
These demographic shifts correlate with significant economic growth. The median income increased from $76,377 in 2013 to $88,822 in 2022, a rise of about 16.3%. The population grew from 10,173 in 2013 to 11,204 in 2022, an increase of about 10.1%. This economic growth may be both a cause and effect of the gradual diversification.
Tonganoxie's median income of $88,822 is higher than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The gradual increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic communities in many parts of the United States. The increase in the "Two or More Races" category also reflects a national trend of growing multiracial populations. However, Tonganoxie remains less diverse than many urban areas in the United States, maintaining its character as a predominantly white, affluent suburb.
Tonganoxie (zip code 66086) remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but shows signs of becoming a "Transitional Community." The gradual increase in diversity, coupled with significant economic growth, suggests a community in the early stages of demographic change. These shifts may have implications for local culture, services, and community dynamics in the coming years.
