The zip code 84782 in Veyo, Utah, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has 187 residents and a median income of $72,054, which exceeds the national average. This rural zip code spans approximately 29.87 square miles, indicating a low population density.
Over the past decade, Veyo has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population has consistently remained above 90% throughout this period, with minor fluctuations. The Hispanic population showed a slight increase from 2% in 2013 to a peak of 7% in 2019, before declining to 3% by 2022. This brief rise suggested a potential trend towards becoming a "Transitional Community," but the subsequent reversal indicates that the area has largely maintained its demographic composition.
Other racial groups have had minimal representation in the community. The Native American presence has consistently been around 1%, while Asian, Black, and Pacific Islander populations have been negligible or unreported. Data for individuals identifying as two or more races became available only in recent years, showing a small but consistent 1% representation from 2020 to 2022.
The median income in Veyo has demonstrated an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $57,787 to $72,054, representing a growth of about 24.7% over nine years. The median income peaked in 2020 at $73,263 before slightly decreasing in the following years, possibly reflecting economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The population has grown modestly from 165 in 2013 to 187 in 2022. Interestingly, the years with higher population (2019-2021) coincided with some of the highest median income figures, suggesting a possible link between population growth and economic prosperity in this small community.
Veyo's racial homogeneity is more pronounced than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population in the United States was about 59.3%, significantly lower than Veyo's 95%. The median household income in the United States was approximately $70,784 in 2021. Veyo's median income of $72,054 in 2022 suggests that the community is slightly above the national average, despite its rural nature. While many rural areas in the United States have experienced population decline, Veyo has seen a slight increase, bucking this trend to some degree.
Veyo represents a stable, predominantly white community with above-average income levels. While there have been minor fluctuations in its demographic makeup, particularly with the Hispanic population, the overall character of the community has remained consistent over the past decade. The area's economic growth, as reflected in rising median incomes, suggests a degree of prosperity that may be contributing to its ability to maintain and slightly grow its population in a rural setting.
