The zip code 73011 in Alex, Oklahoma, is classified as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 83% of the total, meeting the criteria for one racial group dominating (over 75% of the population) with minimal representation from other groups. The current median income is $52,687, and the population is 1,057.
Over the past decade, Alex has maintained its Low Diversity status. The white population has decreased slightly from 87% in 2016 to 83% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has increased from 3% in 2016 to 9% in 2022, potentially indicating the beginning of a slow Transitional Community trend. The Native American population has remained consistent at 3-6% throughout the decade. The Hispanic population peaked at 11% in 2015 but declined to 3% by 2022.
The median income in Alex has shown an overall positive trend. From 2013 to 2021, median income increased from $37,249 to $56,186, representing a 50.8% growth over eight years. A slight decrease to $52,687 occurred in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 882 and 1,060 residents over the decade, with no clear correlation to income changes.
The persistent Low Diversity categorization of Alex contrasts with the national trend towards increasing diversity in many communities. The growth in median income may align with national economic recovery trends post-2008 recession. The increase in the "Two or More Races" category reflects a broader national trend of growing multiracial identification. The relatively stable population suggests that Alex hasn't experienced significant in-migration or out-migration.
Alex remains a Low Diversity community, but subtle shifts in its demographic makeup, particularly the growth in multiracial residents, hint at the potential for future changes. The economic improvements over the decade, as evidenced by the rising median income, suggest a community that has experienced some prosperity. However, the recent dip in income and the persistent lack of diversity indicate that Alex may face challenges in attracting a more diverse population or fully participating in broader national trends towards increased multiculturalism.
