The demographic composition of this zip code is less diverse than many urban areas in the United States, which have typically seen more rapid increases in diversity over the past decade. The high median income and slow pace of diversification suggest that this area may be somewhat insulated from broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The economic growth in this zip code outpaces national averages, potentially making it an attractive destination for high-income earners from various backgrounds, which could accelerate diversification in the future.
Zip code 52411 remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong white majority. Subtle demographic shifts and strong economic growth suggest the potential for increased diversity in the coming years. The community appears to be in the early stages of a transition, balancing its established demographic profile with gradual changes that reflect broader national trends towards increased diversity in suburban areas. The high median income and population growth indicate a desirable living area, which may continue to attract a more diverse population over time, potentially leading to a more pronounced demographic shift in the future.
