Zip code 68336 in Davey, Nebraska, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 95% of the total population, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The area has a population of 389 people and a median income of $111,580, indicating an affluent, predominantly white community.
Davey has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. The white population has remained above 95% from 2013 to 2022. Minor changes in diversity include the Asian population growing from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, the appearance of a 1% Black population in 2020, and fluctuations between 0% and 1% in the two or more races category. These changes suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter the community's classification.
The median income in Davey has increased substantially over the past decade. It rose from $84,379 in 2013 to $111,580 in 2022, representing a 32% increase over nine years. This income growth correlates with the slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Asian population. The area may be attracting high-income professionals from diverse backgrounds, albeit in small numbers.
The population has grown moderately from 333 in 2013 to 389 in 2022, an increase of about 17%. This population growth, combined with rising incomes, suggests a desirable living area gradually attracting new residents.
The median household income in Davey ($111,580 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median (about $70,784 in 2021), indicating a very affluent community. The lack of diversity in Davey contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas. However, it is not uncommon for small, rural Midwestern communities to remain predominantly white. The gradual increase in diversity, while small, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas, albeit at a much slower pace.
Davey represents a stable, affluent, predominantly white community that has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. It remains categorized as "Low Diversity," but shows subtle signs of increasing racial diversity. These minor changes may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards a more diverse community, potentially driven by economic opportunities attracting a wider range of residents. Any transition to a more diverse demographic category is likely to be a very gradual process over many years if current trends continue.
