Zip code 83114 in Taylor, Wyoming, exhibits characteristics of a Low Diversity community with a White Majority as of 2022. The area has a population of 1,286 and a median income of $69,320. This rural zip code covers an area of 1,477.64 square miles, indicating a low population density.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Taylor has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population has remained above 90% for the entire period, with only slight fluctuations. The Hispanic population increased from 3% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The Two or More Races category emerged in the data from 2015 onwards, growing from 0% to 2% by 2022. The data shows minimal to no representation of Asian, Black, Native American, or Pacific Islander populations throughout the period.
The median income in Taylor has shown fluctuations over the years. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $64,875 to $69,320, representing a 6.85% growth over nine years. The median income peaked at $81,319 in 2021, showing a 17.6% increase from the previous year, followed by a 14.8% decrease in 2022. The gradual increase in income does not seem to directly correlate with the minor shifts in racial composition.
The population has fluctuated over the years, with no clear trend. The population ranged from a low of 1,118 in 2020 to a high of 1,446 in 2017. After a significant drop in 2020, the population has been increasing again, reaching 1,286 in 2022.
Taylor appears to be maintaining its homogeneous racial composition. This is not uncommon for rural areas, especially in states like Wyoming, which tend to have less diverse populations compared to national averages. The income fluctuations, particularly the sharp rise and fall in 2021-2022, could be related to broader economic trends such as the post-pandemic recovery and subsequent inflation. The overall income growth over the decade is modest compared to national averages.
Taylor represents a stable, predominantly white community with modest economic growth and minor increases in diversity over the past decade. While it hasn't experienced rapid diversification, the slight increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations suggest the beginning of gradual demographic shifts.
