Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." From 2013 to 2019, the Hispanic population ranged from 7% to 12% of the total population, briefly pushing the area towards "Moderate Diversity" status.

The median income in this zip code has shown fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, it remained relatively stable around $60,000-$70,000. A notable increase occurred in 2020, with median income rising to $81,057, coinciding with a population increase from 536 to 773. This higher income level has been maintained through 2022, with a slight increase to $83,769 in 2021 before settling at $81,044 in 2022.
The periods of highest income (2020-2022) correspond with the lowest Hispanic population percentages and the highest white population percentages. This suggests a correlation between the area's decreased diversity and increased affluence, though causation cannot be established without further data.
This zip code's demographic trends appear to diverge from national trends towards increased diversity. The area's persistent "Low Diversity" status and recent reinforcement of its "White Majority" contrast with many urban and suburban areas experiencing increased racial and ethnic diversity.
The economic trends, particularly the sharp increase in median income from 2020 onwards, may reflect broader national economic shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The maintenance of this higher income level through 2022 suggests local factors may be at play, potentially related to changes in the local job market or influx of higher-income residents.
In conclusion, Mingus's 76463 zip code has predominantly remained a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade, despite minor fluctuations in its racial composition. The area has experienced significant economic growth in recent years, coinciding with a reinforcement of its demographic homogeneity. These trends indicate a community that is becoming more affluent while maintaining its traditional demographic makeup, potentially diverging from national trends towards increased diversity in many areas.
