The racial composition consists of 85% white and 13% Hispanic individuals. The current median income in the area is $56,508.
Over the past decade, Alamo has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has consistently comprised over 75% of the total population, with slight fluctuations ranging from 96% in 2019 to 79% in 2020. The Hispanic population has shown a gradual increase from 6% in 2013 to 13% in 2022, indicating a slow diversification trend. Other racial groups, including Asian, Black, Pacific Islander, and those of two or more races, have maintained a consistent representation at or near 0% throughout the decade.
The median income in Alamo has exhibited considerable volatility over the past ten years. It has ranged from a low of $56,508 in 2022 to a high of $77,516 in 2021, representing a 27% year-over-year decrease. Despite this recent drop, the overall trend shows relative stability, with a modest increase from $56,802 in 2013 to $56,508 in 2022. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population does not appear to have a clear correlation with income trends.
The population of Alamo has fluctuated over the decade, ranging from a low of 746 in 2013 to a high of 1,157 in 2010. The current population of 937 in 2022 represents a slight decrease from recent years but remains higher than the lowest point in 2013.
Alamo is characterized as an extremely rural area with a population density of approximately 0.29 people per square mile. This low density likely contributes to its low diversity and relatively stable demographic composition. The median income of $56,508 in 2022 is below the national median household income, suggesting that Alamo faces some economic challenges compared to national averages.
While the United States as a whole has been experiencing increasing diversity, Alamo's changes in this direction have been minimal. This could be attributed to its rural nature and relative isolation from major urban centers that typically drive demographic shifts. As a rural community, Alamo's pace of change is likely to remain slow compared to more urban areas, but the trends suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity and economic development.
