This rural community has experienced modest population growth and significant income increases over the past decade, while maintaining a predominantly white demographic composition.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Talala has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has remained above 70% throughout, though there has been a slight decrease from 75% in 2013 to 72% in 2022. This minor shift does not signify a transition to a new diversity category but indicates a gradual increase in racial diversity.
The Native American population has shown the most significant growth among minority groups, increasing from 12% in 2013 to 14% in 2020, before slightly decreasing to 12% in 2022. This trend suggests a growing representation of Native American residents, potentially reflecting broader regional patterns in Oklahoma.
The community has seen small increases in Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial populations, each growing by 1-2 percentage points over the decade. However, these changes are not substantial enough to alter the overall demographic categorization of the area.
The median household income in Talala has shown an upward trend, rising from $64,092 in 2013 to $75,782 in 2022, representing an 18.2% increase. This growth suggests an improving economic situation for residents.
The most significant income increase occurred between 2019 and 2021, with median income rising from $68,968 to $81,880, an 18.7% increase in two years. This period coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that Talala may have been resilient to or benefited from economic shifts during this time.
The population has grown moderately, from 2,578 in 2013 to 2,795 in 2022, an 8.4% increase. This growth, coupled with rising incomes, indicates that the area is attracting new residents.
The income growth in Talala likely outpaces national averages, particularly considering the significant increases in recent years. The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity, suggesting that Talala may be somewhat isolated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more urban or suburban areas.
The growth in Native American population percentage aligns with Oklahoma's status as a state with a significant Native American population, reflecting regional demographic patterns.
Talala remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." It has experienced notable economic growth and subtle shifts towards increased diversity over the past decade. These changes suggest a gradually evolving community that is economically prosperous and slowly becoming more diverse, albeit at a pace slower than national trends.
