Zip code 78664 in Round Rock, Texas, is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 60,061 with a median income of $85,269, indicating a suburban area with a relatively high income level. The racial composition shows no single group exceeding 50%, with significant representation from multiple groups: White (43%), Hispanic (35%), and Black (12%).
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its "Moderate Diversity" status, with subtle shifts in demographics. The White population decreased slightly from 44% in 2013 to 43% in 2022. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 34-37% throughout the decade. The Black population increased modestly from 9% in 2013 to 12% in 2022.
The Asian population grew from 3% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, and those identifying as two or more races increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. These trends suggest a gradual movement towards increased diversity, though not yet reaching the threshold for "High Diversity" as defined in the study.
The median income in this zip code has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $77,992 in 2013 to $85,269 in 2022, an increase of about 9.3% over the decade. This growth in income has coincided with the increasing diversity of the area. The population has grown significantly, from 56,217 in 2013 to 60,061 in 2022, an increase of about 6.8%.
The trends observed in this zip code align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States, particularly those near growing metropolitan areas. The increasing diversity, coupled with rising incomes, is indicative of a community that is likely benefiting from economic growth in the broader Austin metropolitan area.
The growth in the Asian population and those identifying as two or more races reflects national trends of increasing multiracial populations and Asian immigration to suburban areas. The stability of the Hispanic population percentage, despite overall population growth, suggests continued attraction of this community to Hispanic residents.
The median income of $85,269 in 2022 is significantly higher than the national median household income, indicating that this is a relatively affluent area. This economic strength, combined with increasing diversity, may position the community well for future growth and development.
In conclusion, this zip code shows signs of being a "Transitional Community," gradually moving towards greater diversity while maintaining economic strength. These trends suggest a dynamic and evolving community that may continue to see changes in its demographic makeup in the coming years, potentially moving towards "High Diversity" if current trends continue.
