Zip code 91906 in Campo, California, is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" community as of 2022. The area has a White majority (60%) with a significant Hispanic population (34%), while other racial groups have minimal representation. The current median income is $65,504 with a population of 4,328, indicating a relatively small, middle-income suburban or rural community.
Campo has experienced notable demographic changes over the past decade. From 2013 to 2018, the area showed signs of being a "Transitional Community." The Hispanic population increased from 31% to 50%, while the White population decreased from 63% to 45%. This shift nearly resulted in a "Majority-Minority" status by 2018. However, from 2019 onwards, there was a reversal of this trend. The White population rebounded to 60% by 2022, while the Hispanic population declined to 34%. This shift returned the community to a "White Majority" status, albeit with "Moderate Diversity."
Other racial groups, including Black, Asian, and Native American populations, remained relatively stable and small throughout the decade. The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. The median income showed significant fluctuations, ranging from a low of $47,560 in 2013 to a peak of $83,862 in 2016. This volatility coincides with the period of most rapid demographic change. From 2020 to 2022, both income and racial composition have shown signs of stabilization, with the median income settling around $65,000-$71,000.
The population grew from 3,852 in 2013 to 4,328 in 2022, a 12.4% increase. This growth may have influenced both demographic and economic trends. The initial increase in Hispanic population followed by a reversal and income growth could suggest a pattern of rural gentrification, where lower-income residents are displaced by higher-income newcomers. The population growth and income fluctuations might indicate Campo's transition from a rural to a more suburban community, possibly influenced by expansion from nearby urban centers.
Despite significant demographic changes, the community has maintained a middle-income status, suggesting economic resilience in the face of population shifts. Campo has experienced a dynamic decade of demographic and economic change. It has transitioned from a predominantly White community to nearly achieving Majority-Minority status, only to revert to a White Majority with Moderate Diversity. These shifts, coupled with income fluctuations and population growth, indicate a community in flux, possibly influenced by broader regional economic and social trends. The stabilization in recent years suggests that Campo may be entering a new phase of demographic and economic equilibrium.
