Zip code 76513 in Belton, Texas, represents a community categorized as having "Moderate Diversity" with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 46,247 and a median household income of $74,834. This analysis examines the demographic and economic evolution of this community over the past decade.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the community has consistently maintained a "White Majority," with the white population representing over 60% of the total. There is a noticeable downward trend, from 69% in 2013 to 60% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown steady growth, from 20% in 2013 to 26% in 2022. This trend suggests a gradual shift towards increased diversity, though not yet reaching the threshold for a "Majority-Minority" status.
The "Two or More Races" category has seen significant growth, from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. This increase indicates a trend towards a more complex racial landscape and potentially suggests a "Transitional Community" in terms of racial identification. The Black population has remained relatively stable, hovering around 6-7% throughout the decade. The Asian population has doubled from 1% to 2% over the period.
The median household income has shown an overall upward trend, from $69,974 in 2013 to $74,834 in 2022, representing a 7% increase over the decade. The population has grown significantly, from 35,613 in 2013 to 46,247 in 2022, a 30% increase.
The consistent income growth alongside increasing diversity suggests that the community has been able to integrate new residents while maintaining economic stability. The substantial population growth coincides with the increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations, indicating that these groups may be driving the area's expansion. The stable median income despite rapid population growth might indicate that new residents are finding economic opportunities in line with existing community standards.
The growth in Hispanic population aligns with broader trends in Texas and the Southwest U.S., where Hispanic communities have been expanding rapidly. The increase in individuals identifying as multiracial reflects a national trend, particularly noticeable in the 2020 U.S. Census. The steady economic growth, even through the COVID-19 pandemic years, suggests a resilient local economy.
Zip code 76513 in Belton, Texas, represents a "Transitional Community" moving towards greater diversity while maintaining economic stability. The persistent "White Majority" is gradually declining as Hispanic, multiracial, and Asian populations grow. This demographic evolution, coupled with steady economic growth and a significant population increase, indicates a dynamic, changing community that has thus far managed to balance demographic shifts with economic opportunities.
