The zip code 68723 in Carroll, Nebraska, is classified as a community with "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is 94% white, aligning with the definition of Low Diversity where one racial group comprises over 75% of the population. This demographic composition has remained consistent over the past decade, with the white population never falling below 94%.
From 2013 to 2022, there has been a slight decrease in the white population percentage, from 97% to 94%. The Hispanic population has increased from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. Residents identifying as two or more races have also increased from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. These changes, while minimal, may indicate the early stages of a transition towards slightly more diversity.
The median income in Carroll has remained relatively stable, increasing from $58,712 in 2013 to $69,371 in 2022, representing an overall growth of about 18% over nine years. The highest median income was recorded in 2016 at $71,214, coinciding with the period of highest racial homogeneity.
The population has fluctuated over the years, from a low of 511 in 2017 to a high of 652 in 2011. The 2022 population of 569 represents a slight decrease from the beginning of the decade.
Carroll's racial composition remains far less diverse than national averages, where non-Hispanic whites make up about 60% of the population as of 2020. The median household income in Carroll ($69,371 in 2022) is higher than the national median ($69,021 in 2021).
Carroll shows very early signs of potentially increasing diversity but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community with a stable economic situation. The subtle demographic shifts observed may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards more diversity, but this process is occurring much more slowly than in many other parts of the country. The community's economic stability amid these minor changes suggests that any demographic shifts have not significantly impacted the overall economic well-being of the area.
