The zip code 67671 in Victoria, Kansas, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 90% of residents identifying as such. The current median income is $70,557, which has increased significantly over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Victoria has maintained a "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has consistently remained above 90% of the total population. However, there are indications of a gradual increase in diversity. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 1-3% over the years. By 2022, small percentages (1% each) of Asian, Black, and Pacific Islander residents are reported.
The median income in Victoria has shown an upward trend, increasing from $46,259 in 2013 to $70,557 in 2022, a rise of over 52%. The period of most rapid income growth (2013-2017) coincides with a slight increase in the Hispanic population percentage. The years 2018-2022, which saw continued but more modest income growth, align with the gradual increase in residents identifying as two or more races. The population has decreased slightly from 1,719 in 2013 to 1,519 in 2022.
The racial homogeneity of Victoria is higher than what would be expected in many urban or suburban areas across the United States, which have typically seen increasing diversity over the past decade. The significant income growth in Victoria outpaces the national average wage growth, which has been more modest over the same period. The slight population decrease goes against the trend of many small cities, which have often seen growth as people move from larger urban centers, especially in the post-2020 period.
Victoria remains a predominantly white community with low diversity, but there are subtle signs of gradual change. The economic prosperity evidenced by rising median incomes has not yet translated into significant demographic shifts, but the small increases in multi-racial and minority populations could be the beginning of a longer-term trend towards greater diversity. The community's ability to maintain strong economic growth while retaining its population will be crucial for its future development and potential for increased diversity.
