The zip code 74053 in Oologah, Oklahoma, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority" as of 2022. The white population comprises 70% of the total, indicating a predominantly white area. The community has shown signs of gradual diversification over the past decade, with a notable Native American presence and increasing representation from other racial groups.
Over the past decade, Oologah has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." However, there is a discernible trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 79% in 2015 to 70% in 2022. The Native American population increased from 10% in 2013 to 14% in 2022, becoming the second-largest racial group. The population of two or more races grew from 7% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The Hispanic population showed a modest increase from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
The demographic shifts correlate with significant economic changes. The median income increased substantially from $62,893 in 2013 to $82,621 in 2022, a 31.4% rise. The population grew from 4,504 in 2013 to 5,619 in 2022, a 24.8% increase. The simultaneous increase in diversity, population, and median income suggests that the area is attracting a more diverse population, possibly due to economic opportunities or changing social dynamics.
The trend towards increased diversity in Oologah, although slow, aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial diversity in many American communities. The significant increase in median income (31.4% over 9 years) outpaces the national average wage growth, which typically hovers around 2-3% annually. This suggests that Oologah may be experiencing faster economic growth than many other areas in the country. The population growth of 24.8% over 9 years is substantial, potentially indicating that Oologah is an attractive destination for new residents.
Oologah remains a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority," but it shows signs of gradual diversification and significant economic growth. The community appears to be in a state of transition, moving slowly towards increased racial diversity while experiencing notable economic prosperity. If these trends continue, Oologah may evolve into a more diverse and economically robust community in the coming years.
