Zip code 69151 in Maxwell, Nebraska, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 93% of the total, meeting the criteria for one racial group dominating with over 75% of the population. The area has a population of 401 as of 2022, with a median income of $71,266.
Maxwell has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. The white population has consistently remained above 90% from 2013 to 2022. Minor demographic shifts include a gradual increase in the Hispanic population from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category fluctuated, reaching 5% in 2016-2017 before declining to 1% by 2022. No significant presence of Black, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander populations was reported during this period.
The median income in Maxwell has shown a generally positive trend over the past decade. From 2013 to 2021, median income increased from $53,584 to $74,858, representing a growth of about 40%. A slight decrease to $71,266 was observed in 2022.
Population figures have fluctuated over the decade. The population peaked at 511 in 2016 and has since declined to 401 in 2022. This population decrease, coupled with the income increase, may indicate a shift in the community's composition, possibly towards fewer but more affluent residents.
The persistently high percentage of white population (93% in 2022) is significantly above the national average, which is typically around 60-65% for the U.S. as a whole. The gradual increase in Hispanic population, while small, aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the U.S. The median income of $71,266 in 2022 is above the national median household income, which was around $67,000 in 2020. The population decline in recent years contrasts with the general trend of urban and suburban growth seen in many parts of the country, suggesting that Maxwell may be facing challenges common to rural communities.
Maxwell remains a "Low Diversity" community, with subtle signs of demographic change, primarily through a small increase in the Hispanic population. The economic trajectory has been largely positive, with significant income growth over the decade, although the recent population decline may indicate challenges in retaining or attracting residents despite the economic improvements. These trends suggest a community that is slowly evolving but still maintains a predominantly white, rural character with above-average income levels.
