Zip code 93563 in Claremont, California, is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" community as of 2022. The population of 710 consists of 45% white, 35% Hispanic, 11% Black, and 7% multiracial residents. The median income for 2022 was $73,294.
Over the past decade, this zip code has undergone a significant transformation in its racial composition. In 2013, the area was classified as having a "White Majority" with 59% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, it had transitioned to a "Moderate Diversity" classification. The white population declined from 59% to 45%, while the Hispanic population increased from 27% to 35%, the Black population grew from 7% to 11%, and the multiracial population rose from 2% to 7%.
The demographic shifts have occurred alongside fluctuations in median income. The median income peaked in 2016 at $84,308 but has since declined to $73,294 in 2022, representing a decrease of about 13% over six years. The period of highest median income (2013-2017) coincided with the highest percentage of white residents. As the community has become more diverse, there has been a slight downward trend in median income.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between approximately 700 and 800 residents. This suggests that the demographic changes are likely due to both in-migration of diverse populations and out-migration of some white residents, rather than solely natural population growth.
The demographic shifts observed in this zip code align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations, in particular, reflects nationwide demographic changes. The decline in median income, however, contrasts with many urban areas that have seen income growth alongside increasing diversity.
Zip code 93563 in Claremont has transitioned from a predominantly white community to one of moderate diversity over the past decade. This shift has been accompanied by some economic challenges, as evidenced by the declining median income. As the community continues to evolve, it will be important to monitor how these demographic changes impact local social dynamics, economic opportunities, and community services.
