Austintown, Ohio, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 83% of the total. The city's median income is $53,661 in 2022, reflecting the economic status of its 31,926 residents.
Over the past decade, Austintown has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a White Majority. There are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The white population has decreased from 90% in 2013 to 83% in 2022. The Black population has increased from 5% to 8% over the same period. The Hispanic population has grown from 2% to 5%. The "Two or More Races" category has risen from 1% to 3%.
The median income in Austintown has shown growth, rising from $48,646 in 2013 to $53,661 in 2022, an increase of about 10.3% over nine years. The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 32,087 in 2013 to 31,926 in 2022.
The gradual increase in diversity and modest income growth are consistent with trends seen in many Midwestern communities, particularly those transitioning from predominantly white, working-class areas to more diverse populations.
Austintown is likely to continue its slow transition towards greater diversity over the next decade. While it may remain in the "Low Diversity" category in the near term, it could potentially shift to "Moderate Diversity" if current trends accelerate.
Economically, the modest but steady income growth suggests a stable economic environment. The city may face challenges in attracting significant new investment or population growth without more dramatic economic improvements or increased diversification of its economy.
Austintown appears to be a community in slow transition. While still predominantly white and relatively homogeneous, it shows signs of gradual diversification and modest economic growth. The coming years may see it evolve into a more diverse community, potentially becoming a "Transitional Community" if the pace of demographic change increases, which could bring both opportunities and challenges for community cohesion and economic development.
