The zip code 76367 in Iowa Park, Texas, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 87% of residents identifying as such. The current median income is $70,019, and the population has reached 9,805 residents.
Over the past decade, Iowa Park has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with the white population consistently representing over 75% of the total. However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The Hispanic population has shown steady growth, increasing from 4% in 2013 to 11% in 2022. This trend suggests a slow progression towards a "Transitional Community" status. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1-4% over the years. Other racial groups, including Black, Asian, and Native American populations, have maintained minimal representation throughout the decade.
The median income in Iowa Park has demonstrated overall growth, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $59,355 to $70,019, representing an 18% growth over the decade. There was a notable increase in median income from 2020 to 2021, rising from $68,145 to $76,218, before slightly decreasing in 2022. The population has experienced modest growth, increasing from 9,371 in 2013 to 9,805 in 2022, a 4.6% increase over the decade.
The gradual increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, has coincided with an overall increase in median income. This suggests that the small demographic shifts may be contributing to economic growth in the area. The population growth, while modest, aligns with the increasing median income, potentially indicating that the area is attracting new residents due to improving economic conditions.
The demographic makeup of Iowa Park, with its overwhelming white majority, is less diverse than many urban areas in Texas and the United States as a whole, which have typically experienced more rapid diversification over the past decade. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population aligns with broader trends seen across Texas and the United States, where the Hispanic population has been growing steadily. The median income growth in Iowa Park appears to be keeping pace with or slightly outpacing national averages, suggesting a relatively healthy local economy.
Iowa Park remains a "Low Diversity" community, but there are subtle signs of demographic change, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population. These changes, coupled with steady economic growth, suggest that the area is slowly evolving. However, the pace of change is gradual, and it may take many more years before the community transitions to a more diverse demographic makeup.
