The zip code 67543 in Yoder, Kansas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 2,578 and a median income of $63,827. This rural community has undergone minor demographic changes and economic fluctuations over the past decade.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Yoder has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population has consistently remained above 88% during this time, with only slight variations. Some subtle changes have been observed in the demographic composition.
The Native American population experienced a notable increase from 2018 onwards, rising from 1-2% to 5-7%. This change, while not altering the overall diversity category, represents a small but significant shift in the community's composition. The Hispanic population has shown a slight increase, from 1% in earlier years to 2% by 2022. This minor change could potentially indicate the beginning of a "Transitional Community" trend if growth continues. Other racial groups, including Asian, Black, and multiracial individuals, have maintained a consistently low presence throughout the period, generally at or below 1-2% each.
The median income in Yoder has demonstrated an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2016, the median income fluctuated between $52,466 and $57,165. The period from 2017 to 2020 saw steady growth, with income rising from $56,665 to $64,810. In 2021, there was a significant increase to $70,359, the highest in the observed period. However, in 2022, the median income decreased to $63,827, returning to levels similar to 2019-2020.
The population has shown an overall increasing trend, growing from 2,171 in 2013 to 2,578 in 2022, with the most significant growth occurring between 2019 and 2021.
Many rural areas across the United States have been experiencing gradual increases in diversity, particularly with growing Hispanic populations. The slight increase in the Hispanic population in Yoder, though small, aligns with this broader national trend in rural communities. The economic fluctuations, particularly the rise and subsequent fall in median income from 2021 to 2022, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by rural communities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The overall growth in population and median income over the decade suggests that Yoder has maintained its economic stability and attractiveness as a rural community, despite limited racial diversity. While Yoder remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, subtle shifts in its Native American and Hispanic populations hint at potential future changes. The area's economic resilience, as evidenced by overall population growth and income increases, suggests a stable community that may be on the cusp of gradual demographic transitions in the coming years.
