Avonia, Pennsylvania, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The white population comprises 91% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city's population has grown from 2,132 in 2010 to 2,832 in 2022, maintaining a predominantly white composition.
From 2013 to 2022, Avonia has consistently been classified as "Low Diversity". However, subtle signs of a gradual shift towards increased diversity are apparent. The white population percentage has decreased from 94% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has risen from 1% to 3% over the same period.
The median income in Avonia has fluctuated, peaking in 2017 at $105,769 and subsequently declining to $86,857 in 2022. This represents an 18% decrease over five years. This economic downturn coincides with the period of increased racial diversification. The population has grown by approximately 33% from 2013 to 2022.
Based on observed trends, Avonia is likely to continue experiencing slow but steady diversification. If the current rate of change persists, the community might transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" within the next decade or two. The Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races are likely to continue growing.
If the downward trend in median income continues, it could potentially lead to demographic shifts as the area becomes more affordable to a wider range of income brackets. This could accelerate the diversification process.
Given the slow pace of change and the still overwhelmingly white majority, major shifts in the demographic makeup of Avonia are likely to occur over an extended period. The community may be classified as a "Transitional Community" in the coming years if the trends of increasing Hispanic and multiracial populations continue alongside economic changes.
Avonia remains a predominantly white, relatively affluent community. However, subtle signs of demographic and economic changes suggest a gradual evolution towards increased diversity and potentially more economic variability in the future.
