Raymond has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" over the past decade. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The white population percentage has gradually decreased from 96% in 2019 to 89% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Hispanic population, from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The Black population, not reported in earlier years, appeared at 3% in 2021 and 2022. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.
The median income in Raymond has shown fluctuations over the years. It rose from $70,574 in 2013 to a peak of $91,928 in 2021. There was a significant drop to $77,141 in 2022. These income changes do not seem to directly correlate with the subtle demographic shifts. The area has maintained relatively high income levels throughout the period, despite minor increases in diversity.
Population growth has been steady but modest, increasing from 9,863 in 2010 to 10,549 in 2022, a growth of about 7% over 12 years.
Raymond's demographic composition and trends align with broader patterns in New Hampshire, which is one of the least diverse states in the U.S. The state as a whole is approximately 90% white, similar to Raymond's 89%. The income levels in Raymond are higher than the New Hampshire state median household income, which was about $77,923 in 2021. This suggests that despite its low diversity, Raymond is a relatively affluent area within the state.
The subtle increases in diversity, particularly in Hispanic and multiracial populations, mirror national trends of increasing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace. Many areas across the U.S. are experiencing more rapid diversification, especially in urban and suburban regions.
Raymond remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," but there are early indications of a very gradual shift towards increased diversity. This change is happening slowly compared to national trends, which is consistent with New Hampshire's overall demographic profile. The area maintains a relatively high economic status, though recent income fluctuations suggest potential economic challenges or changes that may influence future demographic patterns.
