The zip code 95601 in Amador City, California, exhibited low diversity as of 2022. The population was predominantly white, comprising 96% of the total. The median income for 2022 was $65,340, with a population of 83 individuals. This data indicates a small, homogeneous community.
Over the past decade, Amador City maintained its status as a community with low diversity. The white population remained dominant, ranging from 66% to 96% throughout the years. From 2013 to 2016, the community briefly achieved moderate diversity, with the Hispanic population reaching 12-15%. However, from 2017 onwards, there was a gradual transition back to low diversity as the white population increased from 68% to 96% by 2022.
The Hispanic population demonstrated a consistent decline from 15% in 2014 to 2% in 2022, signifying a notable demographic shift. A small "Two or More Races" population emerged and subsequently declined (4-5% from 2017 to 2021), suggesting brief periods of increased diversity that did not persist.
The median income in Amador City fluctuated over the years, showing no clear correlation with the demographic shifts. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $80,117, coinciding with a period of increasing white population percentage. The lowest recorded median income was $62,687 in 2016, during a period of relatively higher diversity. Despite the trend towards lower diversity in recent years, the median income did not show a consistent upward or downward trend, suggesting that factors other than racial composition may be more influential in determining local economic conditions.
Amador City's demographic trends differ from many national trends. While many urban and suburban areas in the United States have experienced increasing diversity over the past decade, Amador City has become less diverse. The small population size (ranging from 70 to 96 people over the decade) makes the community particularly susceptible to significant percentage changes from small absolute changes in population. The high percentage of white residents (96% in 2022) is substantially above the national average, which was about 60% non-Hispanic white as of the 2020 census.
Amador City presents a case of a small, predominantly white community that has become less diverse over the past decade. This trend, combined with fluctuating median incomes, suggests a complex interplay of factors affecting this micro-community, potentially including migration patterns, local economic conditions, and housing availability. The small population size means that even minor changes can have significant impacts on demographic percentages, making it a unique case study in small-town demographic evolution.
