Zip code 73010 in Blanchard, Oklahoma, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 19,629 and a median household income of $79,938. This classification is based on the white population comprising 81% of the total, which exceeds the 75% threshold for low diversity.
Over the past decade, Blanchard has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has decreased slightly from 85% in 2013 to 81% in 2022. The Hispanic community has grown modestly from 4% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The category of two or more races has increased from 3% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Black population has increased from less than 1% to 1% from 2017 onwards. The Native American population has remained stable at around 5-6% throughout the decade.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic growth in the area. The median household income has increased from $67,494 in 2013 to $79,938 in 2022, representing an 18.4% growth. The population has grown from 16,877 in 2013 to 19,629 in 2022, a 16.3% increase. The rise in income and population, along with subtle increases in diversity, suggests that the area may be experiencing economic development that is attracting a slightly more diverse population.
The area's population growth of 16.3% over a decade is significant and likely exceeds national averages. The median household income of $79,938 in 2022 is likely above the national average, suggesting that the area is relatively affluent. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends towards increasing diversity in many communities across the United States. The stability of the Native American population at 5-6% is notable and likely higher than in many other parts of the country, reflecting Oklahoma's unique demographic composition.
Blanchard remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area. Subtle demographic shifts coupled with economic growth suggest a community in the early stages of transition. If these trends continue, the area may evolve towards moderate diversity in the coming decades.
