Zip code 96015 in Canby, California, is classified as a "White Majority" community as of 2022. The population stands at 366 with a median income of $79,690. The area exhibits low diversity, with white residents comprising 73% of the population, while other racial groups have smaller representations.
Over the past decade, Canby has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community, with some fluctuations. In 2018, the area briefly approached "Moderate Diversity" status when the white population decreased to 54%, and Hispanic and Asian populations increased. However, it reverted to "Low Diversity" in subsequent years.
The Hispanic population showed signs of growth, reaching a peak of 30% in 2018, but subsequently declined to 16% by 2022. The Asian population has shown the most significant increase, rising from 1% in 2014 to 9% in 2022, with a peak of 17% in 2020. This growth suggests a slow but steady diversification of the community.
The median income in Canby has experienced significant fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, the community had relatively high median incomes, ranging from $90,000 to over $100,000. However, there was a sharp decline in 2020 and 2021, with the median income dropping to $32,397 in 2021. This decrease coincided with a period of lower overall diversity, as the white population increased to 71% in 2021. The median income rebounded to $79,690 in 2022, aligning with a slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Asian population.
Population figures have remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between 258 and 369 residents. The most recent increase from 278 in 2021 to 366 in 2022 coincides with the economic rebound and slight increase in diversity.
The demographic trends in Canby appear to diverge from broader national trends towards increasing diversity. Many urban and suburban areas across the United States have been experiencing a shift towards "Majority-Minority" or "High Diversity" status, while Canby has maintained its "White Majority" status with only modest increases in diversity.
The economic volatility observed, particularly the sharp decline in median income in 2020-2021, likely reflects the broader economic challenges faced nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the rapid recovery in 2022 suggests that Canby may have unique local factors contributing to its economic resilience.
In conclusion, while Canby has maintained its "White Majority" and generally "Low Diversity" status over the past decade, there are signs of slow diversification, particularly with the growth of the Asian population. The community has experienced significant economic fluctuations, but appears to be on a path of recovery. These trends suggest that Canby is a relatively stable community in terms of racial composition, but one that is not immune to broader economic forces and is showing early signs of increased diversity that may continue in the coming years.
