The zip code 83110 in Afton, Wyoming, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The area is predominantly white, with 90% of the population identifying as such. This classification has remained consistent over the past decade, indicating a stable racial composition. The current median income is $71,452 and the population is 5,227, suggesting a relatively small, economically stable community.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Afton has consistently maintained a "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has remained above 75% throughout, ranging from 96% in 2013 to 90% in 2022. While there has been a slight decrease in the white population percentage, it has not been significant enough to shift the community into a different diversity category.
There are indications of a slowly emerging "Transitional Community," albeit at a very gradual pace. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. Similarly, the Hispanic population has grown from 3% to 6% over the same period. These changes, while small, suggest a slow trend towards increasing diversity.
The median income in Afton has fluctuated over the years but shows an overall upward trend. From $69,500 in 2013, it decreased to a low of $58,849 in 2017 before rising to $71,452 in 2022. This represents a modest 2.8% increase over the decade, barely keeping pace with inflation. The population has also seen growth, increasing from 4,314 in 2013 to 5,227 in 2022, a significant 21% increase. This population growth, coupled with the slight increase in diversity and relatively stable income levels, suggests that the community is slowly attracting new residents, potentially from more diverse backgrounds.
Afton remains significantly less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino, population of the United States was about 59.3%, compared to Afton's 90% white population. The median household income in Afton ($71,452 in 2022) is slightly higher than the national median of $69,021 (as of 2022), indicating that despite its rural location, the community maintains a relatively strong economic position. The population growth in Afton (21% over a decade) is notably higher than the national average, which was about 7.4% from 2010 to 2020.
Afton remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, but there are subtle signs of demographic change. The gradual increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations, combined with steady economic indicators and significant population growth, suggests that the community may be on the cusp of more substantial demographic shifts in the coming years. However, these changes are occurring at a much slower pace than national trends towards increased diversity.
