ZIP code 75254 in Dallas, Texas, currently exhibits characteristics of a Moderate Diversity community with a Hispanic Plurality. As of 2022, the area has a population of 23,328 with a median income of $74,847. The racial composition shows no single group exceeding 50%, but Hispanics form the largest group at 34%, followed closely by Whites at 35%.
Over the past decade, this ZIP code has undergone a transition from a White Plurality to a Hispanic Plurality, indicative of a Transitional Community. In 2013, Whites comprised 40% of the population, with Hispanics at 33%. By 2022, these percentages had shifted to 35% and 34% respectively, nearly equalizing.
The area has consistently maintained Moderate Diversity throughout the observed period. While no single group has held a majority, there have been significant representations from at least three racial groups (White, Hispanic, and Black) each year, with percentages generally ranging between 15-40%.
The Black population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 16-21% over the decade. The Asian population has also maintained a consistent presence, albeit smaller, ranging from 5-7%.
The median income in the area has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $67,585 in 2013 to $74,847 in 2022, representing a 10.7% growth over the decade. This increase in median income has occurred alongside the demographic shifts, suggesting that the area has maintained its economic attractiveness while becoming more diverse.
The population has also grown moderately, from 22,668 in 2013 to 23,328 in 2022, a 2.9% increase. This growth, coupled with rising incomes, indicates that the area has remained desirable for various demographic groups.
The demographic shifts observed in this ZIP code align with broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where Hispanic populations have been growing and often becoming plurality or majority groups. The maintenance of moderate diversity and economic growth during this transition suggests a relatively smooth integration process.
The income growth in this area (10.7% over a decade) outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, indicating real economic gains for residents. This trend is particularly notable given the increasing diversity, as it counters potential concerns about economic downturns sometimes associated with demographic changes.
The stability of the Black population percentage and the slight increase in the Asian population contribute to the area's sustained diversity, reflecting a microcosm of broader national demographic trends towards increased multiculturalism in urban areas.
ZIP code 75254 exemplifies a successfully transitioning community, maintaining economic growth while evolving from a White Plurality to a more balanced demographic composition with a Hispanic Plurality. The area's ability to sustain Moderate Diversity and improve median incomes during this transition suggests a robust local economy and potentially positive integration processes among various racial groups.
