The zip code 77625 in Kountze, Texas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority" as of 2022. The area is predominantly white, with 85% of the population identifying as white. The current median income is $58,661, which has fluctuated over the past decade. The population in 2022 was 12,514, representing a relatively small but stable community.
Over the past decade, the racial composition of this zip code has remained relatively consistent, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." The white population has decreased slightly from 87% in 2013 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased gradually from 5% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Black population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 4-7% throughout the decade. There has been an increase in the "Two or More Races" category, from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
The median income in this zip code has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. There was an increase from $58,708 in 2013 to a peak of $88,455 in 2016. Following this peak, there has been a general downward trend, with the median income settling at $58,661 in 2022, almost exactly where it started in 2013.
The economic fluctuations do not seem to correlate strongly with the subtle demographic shifts. The period of highest income (2016-2017) coincides with a slight increase in Hispanic population and a small decrease in the white majority, but these changes are not dramatic enough to suggest a direct causal relationship.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with minor fluctuations. The most recent trend shows a slight decrease from 13,764 in 2020 to 12,514 in 2022, which could potentially be attributed to broader economic factors or migration patterns.
The predominance of a white majority in this zip code is higher than the national average, as the United States as a whole has been moving towards greater diversity. The median income, while fluctuating, has generally remained above the national poverty line, suggesting a relatively stable economic environment. The subtle increases in Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races align with broader national trends of increasing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace in this particular area.
In conclusion, while the zip code 77625 in Kountze, Texas, remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," there are subtle signs of slowly increasing diversity. The economic situation, as reflected by median income, has seen significant fluctuations but has ultimately returned to a similar level as a decade ago. These trends suggest a community that is experiencing slow change while maintaining its core demographic and economic characteristics.
