The zip code 68923 in Atlanta, Nebraska, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area as of 2022. The population is 94% white, with a total of 94 residents and an estimated 36 housing units, indicative of a rural setting.
Over the past decade, Atlanta has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population has consistently remained above 90%. Minor changes in diversity occurred from 2016 onwards, with the introduction of a small Hispanic population (2-3%). In 2020, small percentages (1% each) of Pacific Islander and Two or More Races categories emerged.
The median income in Atlanta has fluctuated over the years. From 2013 to 2016, there was an increase from $68,863 to $73,084. Post-2016, the median income experienced variations, settling at $70,908 in 2022. The population has been declining from a peak of 125 in 2016 to 94 in 2022, without significantly impacting the median income.
The declining population in Atlanta aligns with broader trends of population loss in many rural American communities. Despite this decline, the median income has remained relatively stable and high, which is atypical for many rural areas facing population loss. The community has seen a slight increase in diversity, but remains less diverse than national averages, which is common in many small, rural communities, especially in the Midwest.
The median income in Atlanta ($70,908 in 2022) is higher than the national median household income (approximately $67,521 in 2020), suggesting a relatively prosperous community despite its small size and rural nature. Atlanta has maintained its status as a low-diversity, predominantly white community over the past decade, while experiencing slight increases in diversity and maintaining a relatively high median income. These factors, combined with the declining population, indicate a small, rural community undergoing slow change while maintaining economic stability.
