The population has remained relatively stable, growing slightly from 21,258 in 2013 to 21,689 in 2022. This stability, combined with the gradual increase in diversity and high median income, suggests that the area is attracting a small but growing number of affluent minority families.
The demographic shifts observed in this zip code align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The pace of change in this community appears to be slower than in more rapidly diversifying urban or suburban areas across the United States.
The consistently high median income in this zip code, remaining above $100,000 throughout the decade, indicates that it remains an affluent area. This economic stability may be a factor in the gradual nature of demographic changes, as high property values and living costs can limit rapid shifts in population composition.
Zip code 66208 in Prairie Village, Kansas, remains a predominantly white, high-income area with "Low Diversity." There are early indicators of a transition towards greater diversity. This gradual shift, coupled with stable economic indicators, suggests a community that is slowly evolving while maintaining its affluent character. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understanding whether this represents the beginning of a more significant demographic transformation or a minor adjustment in an otherwise stable community profile.
