Zip code 68364, encompassing Goehner in Nebraska, presents a demographic profile. The population consistently reported as one person from 2010 to 2022. This area is categorized as "Low Diversity" according to the library of terms. The racial composition data indicates that the single resident has been consistently categorized as white throughout the available years (2013-2022).
The demographic profile of this zip code has remained stable over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the area has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community, with 100% of the population (1 person) consistently identified as white. This lack of change in racial composition is unusual and may reflect limitations in data collection or reporting for such a small population.
Despite the static population and racial composition, the median income for this single-person household has shown fluctuations. The median income rose from $61,618 in 2013 to a peak of $76,764 in 2021, representing an increase of about 24.6% over eight years. However, there was a decline to $67,789 in 2022, a drop of about 11.7% from the previous year. Over the entire period from 2013 to 2022, the overall trend shows a moderate increase in median income of about 10%, despite the recent downturn.
The demographic stability of this zip code contrasts with national trends, which generally show increasing diversity across most communities. The income fluctuations, while significant in percentage terms, may not be representative of broader economic trends due to the extremely small sample size.
With such a small population, this zip code's data may not be statistically significant or representative of broader regional or local trends. The reported population of 1 person over more than a decade raises questions about the accuracy or comprehensiveness of the data collection process for this area.
In conclusion, zip code 68364 maintains a consistent "Low Diversity" categorization with a stable white majority. Its unique demographic situation (a single-person community) makes it challenging to draw meaningful conclusions about demographic evolution or socio-economic trends. The income fluctuations observed may be more reflective of individual circumstances rather than broader economic patterns. This case underscores the importance of considering sample size and data reliability when analyzing demographic and economic trends, especially in very small communities.
