Zip code 81122 in Bayfield, Colorado, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 11,218 and a median income of $74,600. Gradual demographic changes are occurring in the region.
The white population in Bayfield has decreased from 86% in 2013 to 76% in 2022, while maintaining its "White Majority" status. The Hispanic population has increased from 9% in 2013 to 17% in 2022. Other minority groups, including Native Americans and those of two or more races, have maintained a relatively stable presence.
Demographic shifts correlate with economic trends. The median income has increased from $69,690 in 2013 to $74,600 in 2022, representing a 7% growth. The population has grown from 9,488 in 2013 to 11,218 in 2022, an 18% increase.
The population growth of 18% over a decade exceeds the typical national average of 7-8% per decade. The median income growth has barely kept pace with inflation, which is consistent with many rural or small-town areas across the country.
Bayfield remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", but there are indications of gradual demographic changes, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population. These shifts, coupled with population growth and modest income increases, suggest a community in the early stages of transition. If current trends continue, Bayfield may evolve into a "Moderate Diversity" community in the future.
