Grammer, Indiana (zip code 47236) is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the area has a population of 39 people, with a racial composition that is entirely white (100%). The median income for 2022 is $79,503, which represents the highest point in the available data.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Grammer has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The racial composition has remained almost exclusively white, with only a slight variation in 2014 when the white population was 97%. This homogeneity suggests a stable racial demographic with little to no influx of diverse populations over the past decade.
Despite the lack of racial diversity, there have been fluctuations in median income. The median income rose from $66,676 in 2013 to a peak of $79,503 in 2020 and 2022. There was a significant dip to $57,356 in 2015, followed by a recovery and gradual increase. The most recent years (2020-2022) show the highest median incomes in the dataset, indicating a positive economic trend.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 28 and 39 residents over the decade. This small population size means that even minor changes in household composition could significantly impact median income figures.
The extreme racial homogeneity of Grammer is unusual compared to national trends, which generally show increasing diversity in most communities. The median income of $79,503 in 2022 is above the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The very small population and land area (0.41 square miles) suggest this is a rural or semi-rural community, which may explain its demographic stability and lack of diversity.
Grammer presents a case of a small, racially homogeneous community that has maintained its demographic composition over the past decade while experiencing some economic growth. The lack of racial diversity contrasts with broader national trends towards increasing multiculturalism, potentially due to its small size and rural nature. Despite its demographic stability, the community has seen economic improvements, particularly in recent years, outpacing national median income levels. This suggests that while the area has not experienced demographic changes, it has not been immune to broader economic trends and has managed to achieve relative prosperity within its stable, homogeneous population structure.
