Addison, Pennsylvania, exhibits characteristics of a Low Diversity community with a predominantly White population (95% in 2022). The city's median income of $52,692 in 2022 represents an increase from previous years, indicating economic growth. Addison has a population of 710 in 2022, categorizing it as a small community that has experienced minor fluctuations in size over the past decade.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Addison has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community. The White population has remained dominant, never dropping below 95% of the total population. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The Hispanic population showed a gradual increase from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, with a peak of 4% in 2021. The "Two or More Races" category appeared in the data from 2021 onwards, accounting for 1% of the population. These minor shifts suggest the beginnings of a Transitional Community, albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income in Addison has shown overall growth, increasing from $43,790 in 2013 to $52,692 in 2022, representing a 20.3% increase over nine years. This growth was not linear, with some fluctuations. There was a dip to $39,337 in 2017, the lowest point in the available data. A steady increase occurred from 2017 to 2022, with the most significant jump occurring between 2021 and 2022 (13.4% increase).
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 598 (2019) and 742 (2014) residents. The recent trend shows a slight increase in population from 2019 to 2022, which correlates with the rising median income.
Addison's demographic composition is less diverse than the national average. The slow increase in Hispanic population and the emergence of multi-racial individuals align with broader national trends of increasing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace in Addison. The median household income growth of 20.3% over nine years is relatively in line with national trends, though the most recent jump from 2021 to 2022 (13.4%) is higher than typical annual increases.
Based on the observed trends, Addison is likely to remain a Low Diversity community in the near future, but with a gradual transition towards slightly increased diversity. The Hispanic population and multi-racial category are expected to continue growing slowly. Economically, if the recent trend continues, the community may see further increases in median income. This could potentially attract more diverse populations, accelerating the transition towards a more diverse community.
In the long term, if these trends persist and accelerate, Addison might eventually transition from a Low Diversity to a Moderate Diversity community, particularly if the Hispanic population continues to grow and other minority groups begin to establish a presence. However, this transition would likely take many years given the current slow pace of change.
