The zip code 76472 in Santo, Texas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition comprises 85% white population and 13% Hispanic population. The median income for this area in 2022 was $70,269, showing significant growth over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Santo has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority". However, there are indications of a gradual transition towards becoming a "Transitional Community". The white population has decreased from 95% in 2013 to 85% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has grown from 5% in 2013 to 13% in 2022. A small but growing "Two or More Races" category (2% in 2021) has emerged, indicating increasing diversity.
The demographic shifts correlate with significant economic changes. Median income has grown from $53,209 in 2013 to $70,269 in 2022, an increase of about 32%. The population has also grown from 1,724 in 2013 to 2,139 in 2022, an increase of about 24%. The simultaneous increase in income and population, along with growing diversity, suggests that the area may be attracting new residents from diverse backgrounds.
The growth in Hispanic population aligns with broader trends in Texas and the United States. The income growth outpaces the national average, which could indicate that Santo is experiencing stronger economic growth than many other areas of the country. The persistence of a strong white majority, despite increasing diversity, suggests that Santo may be transitioning more slowly than some other parts of Texas or the United States.
Santo remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", but it shows signs of gradual transition. The increasing Hispanic population and growing median income suggest that the community is slowly evolving, potentially towards becoming a more diverse and economically robust area in the future. This transition is occurring at a measured pace, maintaining the area's predominantly white demographic while gradually incorporating more diversity.
