Barneveld, New York (zip code 13304) is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." As of 2022, the white population comprises 96% of the total, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The area has a population of 1,437 and a median household income of $73,348.
Throughout the past decade, Barneveld has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." The white population has remained above 95% throughout the period, showing only minor fluctuations. There have been slight increases in racial diversity, particularly in the Black and Two or More Races categories, but these changes are minimal and have not significantly altered the overall demographic composition.
The community has not transitioned between diversity categories during this period. However, there are subtle indications of very gradual diversification. The Black population increased from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The Two or More Races category has consistently represented about 1-2% of the population since 2013. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 0-1% over the years. These changes, while small, could potentially indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards slightly increased diversity.
The median household income in Barneveld has shown an overall upward trend, albeit with some fluctuations. It increased from $64,738 in 2013 to $78,071 in 2019, a significant rise of about 20.6% over six years. There was a slight decline to $73,314 in 2020, possibly due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2022, the median income stands at $73,348, which is slightly higher than the 2020 figure but still below the 2019 peak.
The population has shown a gradual decline from 1,576 in 2013 to 1,437 in 2022, a decrease of about 8.8% over the decade. The minor increases in racial diversity do not seem to have significantly impacted the overall economic trends. The median income has generally risen despite (or perhaps independent of) these small demographic shifts.
Barneveld's racial composition is significantly less diverse than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population, comprised about 59% of the national population, compared to 96% in Barneveld. The median household income in Barneveld ($73,348 in 2022) is higher than the national median income, which was estimated at about $70,784 in 2021. The gradual population decline in Barneveld contrasts with the overall U.S. population growth, which has been positive, albeit slowing in recent years.
While Barneveld has experienced minor increases in racial diversity over the past decade, it remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The area has seen overall economic growth as reflected in rising median incomes, despite a gradually declining population. These trends suggest a stable, relatively affluent community that is experiencing very slow demographic change, in contrast to more rapid diversification seen in many other parts of the United States.
