Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 88% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity. The city has experienced population growth over the past decade, increasing from 3,144 in 2010 to 4,441 in 2022, alongside economic changes.
Over the past decade, Brodheadsville has maintained its status as a White Majority community with Low Diversity. Subtle shifts in racial composition are evident. The white population percentage has fluctuated slightly, peaking at 92% in 2021 before decreasing to 88% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant change, increasing from 5% in 2019 to 9% in 2022, indicating a potential trend towards slightly increased diversity. Other racial groups have maintained relatively stable, low percentages throughout the period.
The median income in Brodheadsville has shown substantial growth. From 2013 to 2019, median income remained relatively stable, ranging from $57,089 to $64,913. A significant increase occurred between 2019 and 2021, with median income rising from $62,418 to $90,222. There was a slight decline in 2022 to $79,879, but this still represents a substantial increase from earlier years. This economic growth coincides with the population increase, suggesting that the area may be attracting more affluent residents or experiencing overall economic improvement.
The growth in both population and median income in Brodheadsville appears to outpace typical national trends. The persistence of a strong White Majority in the face of modest increases in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, aligns with broader demographic shifts seen in many suburban and rural areas across the United States.
Based on the observed trends, Brodheadsville is likely to continue its trajectory of slow diversification while maintaining its White Majority status in the near future. The most probable scenario is a gradual transition towards "Moderate Diversity" over the next decade, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population.
Economically, the area seems poised for continued growth, barring any significant external economic shocks. The combination of population growth and rising median incomes suggests that Brodheadsville may be evolving into a more affluent suburban community, potentially attracting a more diverse population over time.
The community is likely to remain categorized as "Low Diversity" with a White Majority for the foreseeable future. The economic growth may eventually lead to increased diversity if it attracts a wider range of residents, but this process is likely to be gradual rather than abrupt.
