Zip code 90263, corresponding to Pepperdine University, California, is classified as a "White Majority" community as of 2022, with a median income of $154,687. This racial composition has been consistent throughout the analyzed period, exhibiting low to moderate diversity.
From 2013 to 2022, the community has maintained its "White Majority" status, with the white population constituting between 53% and 63% of the total. The Asian population has shown a slight increase from 13% in 2013 to 18% in 2022. Conversely, the Hispanic population has decreased from 15% in 2017 to 9% in 2022. The Black population has remained relatively stable at 3-5% throughout the period.
The median income in this zip code has fluctuated over the years but demonstrates an overall increasing trend. From 2013 to 2019, there was a general decline in median income from $144,957 to $123,999. However, from 2020 to 2022, there was a significant increase, reaching $162,499 in 2021 before slightly decreasing to $154,687 in 2022.
The economic trend correlates with the demographic shifts. The increase in Asian population coincides with the recent uptick in median income. The decrease in Hispanic population aligns with the period of increasing median income. Population figures have remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 66 in 2015-2018 to 57 in 2022.
The median income in this zip code ($154,687 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median household income. The consistent "White Majority" status of this community, despite some shifts towards increased Asian representation, contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The small population size and the fact that this is a university CDP suggests this area might have unique characteristics compared to typical residential neighborhoods.
In conclusion, while the Pepperdine University has maintained its "White Majority" status over the past decade, subtle shifts towards increased Asian representation and decreased Hispanic representation, coupled with significant income growth in recent years, suggest a slowly evolving demographic and economic landscape. These changes could have notable impacts on the small community's character and socio-economic dynamics.
