Zip code 98220 in Acme, Washington, is characterized by Low Diversity with a White Majority as of 2022. The community has a population of 298 and a median income of $73,331 in 2022. This analysis examines demographic and economic trends over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Acme maintained its status as a White Majority community, with the white population consistently above 73%. The Native American community maintained a significant presence, ranging between 11-17% of the population. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races increased from 6% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. Asian, Hispanic, and other racial groups maintained a small but consistent presence of 1-3% each.
The median income in Acme demonstrated significant growth and volatility over the past decade. It increased from $41,192 in 2013 to $73,331 in 2022, representing a 78% increase. The median income peaked at $87,611 in 2021 before declining in 2022. This economic growth correlates with subtle demographic shifts.
As the community became slightly more diverse, it also became more affluent overall. The increasing median income might be attracting a more diverse population, particularly evident in the growth of the multiracial category. The consistent Native American population suggests economic opportunities that support this community's continued presence.
The trend of increasing diversity, albeit slow, aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in many communities. The significant income growth outpaces national averages, suggesting Acme may be experiencing more rapid economic development than many other small communities. The maintenance of a strong White Majority is more common in rural or small-town settings, which Acme's small population suggests it might be.
Acme remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community. However, subtle demographic shifts and significant economic growth over the past decade suggest it may be in the early stages of transition. The community's ability to maintain its Native American population while attracting a growing multiracial demographic, coupled with substantial income growth, points to a gradually evolving social and economic landscape. These changes, while not dramatic, may be laying the groundwork for more significant demographic shifts in the coming years, potentially moving the community towards Moderate Diversity if current trends continue.
