The zip code 71403 in Anacoco, Louisiana, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 85% white, meeting the definition of a racial group dominating with over 75% representation. The median household income for 2022 was $70,837.
Over the past decade, Anacoco has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The white population decreased from 92% in 2013 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
These changes suggest that Anacoco may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community." The increasing Hispanic and multiracial populations indicate a trend towards greater diversity, albeit at a slow pace.
The median household income increased from $51,598 in 2013 to $70,837 in 2022, representing a 37% increase over nine years. This economic growth has coincided with the subtle diversification of the population. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 4,200 and 4,700 residents over the decade.
The gradual diversification seen in Anacoco aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity, particularly in rural and suburban areas. However, the pace of change in Anacoco appears slower than national averages. The economic growth in Anacoco is notable, especially given the challenges many rural communities face.
Anacoco remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, but there are signs of gradual change. The increasing Hispanic and multiracial populations, coupled with strong economic growth, suggest a community that is slowly evolving. If these trends continue, Anacoco may transition to a more diverse community in the coming decades.
