Berlin, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 96% white, indicating a strong racial majority. The community has a population of 2,297 and a median income of $50,746, suggesting a small, predominantly white community with a moderate income level.
From 2013 to 2022, Berlin has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has stayed above 95% throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations. No significant shifts or transitions between diversity categories have occurred.
Minor changes in the demographic composition include a slight increase in the Hispanic population from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022, and the emergence of a small "two or more races" category, growing from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. These subtle shifts suggest a very slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter the overall categorization of the community.
The median income in Berlin has increased from $37,173 in 2013 to $50,746 in 2022, representing a growth of about 36.5%. This economic improvement coincides with a population increase from 1,983 in 2013 to 2,297 in 2022, a growth of approximately 15.8%. The income growth does not appear to have significantly altered the racial composition of the community, suggesting that it may have benefited the existing population rather than attracting a more diverse influx of new residents.
The persistent lack of diversity in Berlin contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many American communities. Based on observed trends, Berlin is likely to remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the foreseeable future. The gradual increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations might continue, but at the current rate, it would take many decades to significantly alter the demographic makeup of the community.
If current trends continue, a continued slow increase in median income, gradual population growth, and a very slow increase in racial diversity, primarily through growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations, might be observed. However, the community is unlikely to transition into a new category from the Library of Terms in the near future unless significant external factors dramatically alter the current trajectory. The most likely scenario is that Berlin will remain a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority, experiencing gradual economic growth and very slow diversification.
