Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority". The white population percentage has ranged from 86% to 94%. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 5% and 13%. In 2021, a "Two or More Races" category appeared at 3%.
The median income in this zip code has shown an upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $56,799. By 2022, it had increased to $79,971, representing a 40.8% increase over nine years. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $82,407.
Years with slightly higher Hispanic representation coincided with somewhat lower median incomes. As the white percentage increased in recent years, so did the median income. This suggests a potential correlation between racial composition and economic factors in this community.
Population trends have been relatively stable, fluctuating between 67 and 85 residents over the decade. The slight population decrease from 2010 to 2022 (from 79 to 78) does not appear to have significantly impacted the overall demographic or economic trends.
The income growth in this zip code outpaces the national average. The U.S. median household income grew by about 10% from 2013 to 2022, adjusted for inflation, whereas this community saw a 40.8% increase. The racial homogeneity of this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The stable population in this zip code, despite economic growth, might indicate limited job opportunities or housing availability.
This zip code has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade, while its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged. The community continues to be characterized by low diversity and a strong white majority, with only subtle fluctuations in its small Hispanic population. This stability in racial composition, coupled with substantial income growth, sets this community apart from many rural areas experiencing more significant demographic shifts and economic challenges.
