This zip code has undergone a significant demographic transition over the past decade. In 2013, the area was classified as having a "White Majority" with 52% of the population. By 2015, it had shifted to a "White Plurality" as the White population decreased to 48%. The community has since moved towards its current "Majority-Minority" status.
The Black population has increased from 31% in 2013 to 39% in 2022. The Hispanic and Asian populations have also grown steadily, but at a slower pace. This trend suggests the area is becoming a "Transitional Community," with increasing diversity over time.
The demographic shifts have coincided with economic changes. The median household income has risen from $55,513 in 2013 to $62,368 in 2022, an increase of about 12.3%. This growth was not linear, with a significant jump to $70,059 in 2021 before a decrease in 2022.
The population has grown from 51,616 in 2013 to 57,233 in 2022, an increase of about 10.9%. This population growth, coupled with the income increase, suggests that the area has been attracting new residents.
The demographic shifts in this Savannah zip code align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban and suburban areas. The economic growth in this area appears somewhat modest compared to national trends. The U.S. median household income grew by about 18% from 2013 to 2022, slightly outpacing the growth seen in this zip code.
The transition to a majority-minority community, coupled with moderate income growth, may indicate that the area is becoming more attractive to diverse populations seeking affordable living options with reasonable economic prospects. This could potentially lead to further diversification and community development in the coming years, assuming the trend continues.
