The zip code 76272 in Valley View, Texas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 5,529 and a median household income of $83,689. This analysis examines the community's evolution over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Valley View maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population slightly increased from 78% in 2013 to 81% in 2022, remaining the dominant racial group. The Hispanic population fluctuated, starting at 18% in 2013, dropping to 7% in 2018-2019, and rising to 16% by 2022. Other racial groups saw minimal representation, with slight increases in the Black population (from 0% to 1%) and those identifying as two or more races (from 0% to 2%).
The median household income showed significant fluctuations over the decade. It increased from $70,442 in 2013 to $83,689 in 2022, representing an overall increase of about 18.8%. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $91,952, followed by a slight decrease in 2022. Notable fluctuations included a low point of $63,729 in 2015 and a high of $91,690 in 2017.
The period of lowest Hispanic representation (2017-2019) coincided with some of the highest median incomes, suggesting a potential relationship between demographic composition and economic outcomes. The slight increase in diversity from 2020 to 2022 occurred alongside relatively high, though slightly decreasing, median incomes.
Valley View's racial makeup is less diverse than many urban areas in Texas, which often have larger Hispanic and Black populations. The median household income of $83,689 in 2022 is likely above the national average, indicating a relatively affluent community. The population has grown from 4,867 in 2010 to 5,529 in 2022, a 13.6% increase.
Valley View remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but there are signs of gradual demographic shifts, particularly in the Hispanic population. These changes, coupled with the area's economic fluctuations, suggest a community in slow transition. The relationship between these demographic shifts and economic trends warrants further investigation to understand their full impact on local life and community dynamics.
