No single racial group forms a majority. The median income in 2022 was $78,930, indicating a relatively affluent community. The population of 46,711 resides in an area of 14.86 square miles.
Over the past decade, this zip code has experienced significant changes in its racial composition. In 2013, it was categorized as having a "White Plurality" with whites comprising 46% of the population. By 2017, it had transitioned to a "White Majority" with 53% of the population. From 2018 onwards, a clear trend towards increased diversity has been observed.
The white population percentage has steadily declined from a peak of 53% in 2017 to 43% in 2022. Concurrently, there has been a gradual increase in the Asian population from 6% to 8% and a more significant rise in those identifying as two or more races from 2% to 7%. This shift indicates a "Transitional Community" status, moving from a white majority to a more diverse demographic mix.
The Black population has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 30% in 2013 to 27% in 2022. The Hispanic population has fluctuated, starting at 12% in 2013, decreasing to 9% in 2016-2017, and returning to 12% by 2022.
The median income in the zip code has shown overall growth, increasing from $68,669 in 2013 to $78,930 in 2022, a rise of approximately 15%. This growth has not been linear, with some fluctuations, notably a peak of $87,800 in 2021 before decreasing in 2022. The period of highest income growth coincided with the transition from a white plurality to a white majority (2013-2017). As the community has become more diverse since 2018, income levels have remained relatively stable with some fluctuations.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with a slight overall increase from 45,031 in 2013 to 46,711 in 2022. This suggests that the demographic changes are likely due to a combination of existing residents' changing identification and the influx of new, diverse residents, rather than large-scale population shifts.
The demographic shifts in this zip code reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity, particularly in suburban areas. The growth in the multiracial population is notable, mirroring a national trend highlighted in the 2020 U.S. Census, which showed a 276% increase in the multiracial population since 2010.
The steady increase in median income, despite demographic shifts, suggests that this area has maintained its economic attractiveness. This could indicate that the area is experiencing "suburban diversity," where traditionally white suburban areas are becoming more racially diverse while maintaining or improving their economic status.
Zip code 30067 in Marietta, Georgia, presents an example of a "Transitional Community," evolving from a white plurality to a more diverse demographic mix over the past decade. This transition has occurred alongside overall economic growth, suggesting that increased diversity has not negatively impacted the area's prosperity.
