The zip code 84713 in Beaver, Utah, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 84% white, with Hispanic residents comprising 15% of the population. The median income in 2022 was $65,458, and the total population was 3,714.
Over the past decade, Beaver has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority". However, there are indications of a gradual increase in diversity. The white population decreased from 92% in 2015 to 84% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 8% in 2015 to 15% in 2022. Other racial groups have maintained minimal representation throughout this period.
The median income in Beaver has fluctuated over the past decade. It reached a peak of $79,827 in 2021 before decreasing to $65,458 in 2022. A notable decline in median income occurred from 2016 to 2018, reaching a low of $55,407 in 2018. Since 2018, there has been a general upward trend in median income.
The increase in diversity, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population, coincides with the overall increase in median income since 2018. This suggests that the growing Hispanic community may be contributing positively to the local economy.
Population trends indicate a slight decline from 3,611 in 2013 to 3,320 in 2020, followed by a significant increase to 3,714 in 2022. This recent population growth aligns with the increase in diversity and could be attributed to in-migration, possibly driven by economic opportunities.
The demographic composition of Beaver, with its strong white majority, is not uncommon for rural areas in Utah and other parts of the American West. The gradual increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in various parts of the United States. The median income of $65,458 in 2022 is lower than the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021, suggesting that while incomes have generally increased, Beaver remains slightly below the national average.
In conclusion, Beaver remains a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority", but there are indications of slow but steady demographic changes. These shifts, combined with recent economic improvements and population growth, suggest that the community may be entering a period of transition. Continued monitoring of these trends will be important to understand the long-term demographic and economic trajectory of this Utah community.
