Zip code 83442 in Rigby, Idaho, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The area is predominantly white, with 88% of the population identifying as such. This demographic composition has remained relatively stable over the past decade, with only minor fluctuations. The current median income is $70,715, and the population stands at 24,370, indicating a growing community with a solid economic foundation.
Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), Rigby has consistently maintained a "White Majority" status, with the white population consistently above 88%. This indicates a relatively stable racial composition over time. However, there have been subtle shifts within minority populations. The Hispanic population has shown a slight increase from 7% in 2013 to 9% in 2022, suggesting slow but steady growth. The Native American population has seen a small increase from 0% to 1% over the decade. The population identifying as Two or More Races has increased from 1% to 2% between 2013 and 2022. While these changes are minor, they could indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income has shown significant growth over the observed period, rising from $57,257 in 2013 to $70,715 in 2022, an increase of about 23.5%. This economic growth correlates with the population increase from 19,376 in 2013 to 24,370 in 2022, a growth of about 25.8%. The parallel growth in income and population suggests that the area has been attracting new residents, possibly due to economic opportunities. This economic growth might be contributing to the subtle increases in minority populations, as economic prosperity often attracts a more diverse population.
The growth rate of both population and median income in Rigby appears to be higher than typical national averages, indicating a rapidly developing area. The persistent "Low Diversity" categorization contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. This suggests that Rigby may be somewhat isolated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more metropolitan regions. The steady increase in median income, even through the economic challenges of 2020-2021, indicates a resilient local economy that may be attracting new residents.
While Rigby remains a predominantly white community with low diversity, subtle demographic shifts and strong economic growth suggest the potential for gradual changes in the coming years. The area's economic prosperity could be a driving factor in attracting a more diverse population, potentially leading to a more pronounced "Transitional Community" status in the future. However, any such transition is likely to be gradual given the current demographic stability.
