Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a white majority area. From 2013 to 2017, the area showed signs of being a transitional community, with the Hispanic population comprising between 19-29% of the total. This period could be classified as having moderate diversity. From 2018 onwards, there was a shift towards low diversity, with the white population increasing to over 90% and reaching 95% by 2022.
The Hispanic population decreased from 29% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. As the area transitioned to lower diversity, median income generally increased. From 2013 to 2019, there was a rise in median income from $72,903 to $108,828. The peak of diversity (2013-2017) coincided with a period of population growth, reaching 1,725 residents in 2014.
As the area became less diverse post-2018, the population declined, dropping from 1,299 in 2018 to 640 in 2022. Despite this population decrease, median income remained around $100,000.
The median income in this zip code ($101,126 in 2022) is higher than the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. The shift towards a more homogeneous racial composition contrasts with national trends. The population decline since 2018, despite high median incomes, suggests local factors may be influencing migration patterns.
Zip code 89310 has evolved from a moderately diverse, growing community to a less diverse, shrinking community over the past decade. It has maintained a high median income, suggesting a concentration of affluent residents. The reasons behind this demographic shift and its long-term implications for the community warrant further investigation.
