Zip code 95917 in Biggs, California, is categorized as a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 62% of the total, while Hispanic residents make up 33%. The area has experienced a population increase from 2,814 in 2010 to 3,323 in 2022, along with an upward trend in median income.
Over the past decade, Biggs has maintained its "White Majority" status with some fluctuations. In 2013, the white population was 58%, remaining relatively stable until 2019 when it dropped to 52%. From 2020 onwards, there was an increase in the white population, reaching 62% by 2022. The Hispanic population has shown a gradual increase, rising from 30% in 2013 to 38% in 2019, before slightly decreasing to 33% in 2022.

The median income in Biggs has shown an overall positive trend, increasing from $61,244 in 2013 to $67,019 in 2022, with a peak of $72,901 in 2021. This represents a growth of about 9.4% over the decade, slightly outpacing inflation. The periods of highest income growth coincide with the years when the white majority was at its lowest percentage. The population has grown steadily over the decade, increasing by about 18% from 2010 to 2022.
The demographic makeup of Biggs, with its white majority and significant Hispanic minority, is not uncommon for many areas in California. However, the lack of significant Asian, Black, or other minority populations sets it apart from more diverse urban areas in the state. The steady increase in median income aligns with broader economic trends seen across much of the United States in the past decade, particularly in the years leading up to 2020. The continued growth through 2021 and 2022 is notable, as many areas experienced economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biggs has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community over the past decade, but has shown signs of increasing diversity, particularly with growth in the Hispanic population. This demographic shift has occurred alongside steady economic growth. The interplay between these demographic and economic trends will be important to monitor in the coming years, particularly as the community continues to grow and potentially diversify further.
