Zip code 70092 in Violet, Louisiana, is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 53% of the area, while the Black population represents 36%. Other racial groups have smaller representations. The median income for 2022 was $61,878.
Violet has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade. In 2013, the area was characterized as "Majority-Minority" with a 57% white population and a 33% Black population. By 2019, it had transitioned to a "Black Plurality" status, with the Black population reaching 44% and the white population decreasing to 46%. From 2020 onwards, this trend reversed, with the white population increasing to 53% by 2022 and the Black population decreasing to 36%, returning the area to a "Moderate Diversity" classification.
The median income in Violet has shown significant volatility over the past decade, correlating with demographic shifts. In 2013, the median income was $57,379. As the community transitioned towards a "Black Plurality" in the mid-2010s, median income decreased, reaching a low of $42,329 in 2017. Coinciding with the shift back towards "Moderate Diversity" and an increase in the white population percentage, median income rose substantially, peaking at $80,347 in 2021 before settling at $61,878 in 2022.
The demographic shifts observed in Violet reflect broader trends seen in many American communities. The initial shift towards greater diversity followed by a partial reversal is similar to patterns observed in some suburban areas across the United States.
The economic volatility, particularly the sharp increase in median income from 2020 to 2021, may be related to broader economic trends associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery. The specific local factors driving these changes would require further investigation.
Violet has experienced significant demographic and economic changes over the past decade, transitioning from a "Majority-Minority" community to one of "Moderate Diversity." These shifts have been accompanied by notable fluctuations in median income, suggesting a complex interplay between racial composition and economic conditions in the area. The community appears to be in a state of ongoing transition, and future years may reveal whether these recent trends towards increased median income and a slight increase in the white population percentage will continue or stabilize.
