The zip code 95923 (Almanor, California) is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The community has a population of 67 people and a median income of $93,944. This rural area has experienced significant fluctuations in both population and income over the past decade.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Almanor has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has ranged from 82% to 97% of the total. There has been a slight trend towards less diversity over time, with the white percentage increasing from 92% in 2013 to 96% in 2022.
The community has seen minimal representation from other racial groups. Hispanic residents made up 1-2% of the population in some years, while those identifying as two or more races fluctuated between 2-6%. These small percentages in such a tiny population represent very few individuals.
The median income in Almanor has shown considerable volatility over the decade. Starting at $119,710 in 2013, it dropped to $60,428 in 2015 before increasing to $116,963 in 2021. The 2022 figure of $93,944 represents a slight decrease from the previous year but is still higher than the national median.
Population trends have been equally volatile, ranging from a high of 81 in 2010 to a low of 44 in 2019, before rebounding to 67 in 2022. This instability in such a small population could be attributed to various factors, including economic opportunities, housing availability, or natural population turnover.
The persistent low diversity and white majority status of Almanor contrasts with broader national trends towards increasing diversity. Many rural areas across the United States have been experiencing population decline and aging demographics, which aligns with some of the trends seen in this community.
The income volatility observed in Almanor is more extreme than typical national trends, likely due to the small population size where individual household changes can have outsized effects on overall statistics. However, the generally high median income suggests that Almanor has maintained a relatively affluent economic status.
Almanor presents a picture of a small, predominantly white rural community that has maintained its demographic character over the past decade while experiencing significant economic fluctuations. Its ability to maintain and increase its median income in recent years, despite population instability, indicates a certain economic resilience. However, the lack of increasing diversity may pose challenges for future growth and development.
