The zip code 68330 in Cordova, Nebraska, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 82% of residents identifying as such. The village has a population of 28 people and an estimated 11 housing units as of 2022.
Over the past decade, Cordova has maintained its "Low Diversity" categorization. The white population has remained the dominant racial group, never falling below 82% of the total population. From 2013 to 2022, the white population percentage decreased from 91% to 82%. Starting in 2019, data indicates an increase in residents identifying as two or more races, rising from 3% to 7% by 2022. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 4% and 8% over the years.
The median income in Cordova has shown an upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $51,170. By 2021, it had increased to $74,089, representing a rise of about 45%. However, there was a slight decrease to $65,525 in 2022.
The overall increase in median income coincides with subtle demographic shifts, potentially indicating that the community has been attracting a slightly more diverse, higher-income population over time. The income growth might be attracting new residents, possibly contributing to the small increase in diversity.
Population trends show a slight decline from 34 residents in 2013 to 28 in 2022. This decrease, combined with rising incomes, might suggest that while the community is becoming slightly more prosperous, it is also becoming more exclusive, possibly due to limited housing options or other factors that restrict population growth.
The trend of increasing diversity in Cordova, although slow, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in rural areas. The significant increase in median income outpaces national averages, suggesting that Cordova has experienced relatively strong economic growth compared to many other small rural communities. The population decline, while small in absolute numbers, is significant in percentage terms and may reflect broader trends of population loss in rural areas across the United States.
While Cordova remains a "Low Diversity" community, there are subtle signs of demographic change. These shifts, coupled with significant income growth, suggest a community in slow transition. However, the small population size means that even minor changes can have outsized effects on percentages, so these trends should be interpreted cautiously. The challenge for Cordova may be in maintaining its economic growth while potentially becoming more inclusive and attractive to a wider range of residents.
