Burnside, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the population stands at 1,239 with a white majority comprising 98% of the total. The median income in 2022 was $43,332, indicating the area's moderate economic status.
Burnside has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. The white population has consistently remained above 98% from 2013 to 2022, with minimal representation from other racial groups. A slight trend towards increased diversity is observed, with the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increasing from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022.
The median income in Burnside has grown from $38,226 in 2013 to $43,332 in 2022, representing an increase of approximately 13.4% over nine years. This growth, while positive, is relatively modest. The population has remained relatively stable, increasing slightly from 1,184 in 2013 to 1,239 in 2022, indicating a lack of major economic factors attracting new residents.
The persistence of a predominantly white population in Burnside is not uncommon in rural Pennsylvania, though many other areas have experienced more rapid diversification.
Based on observed trends, Burnside is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. However, the slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races suggests a potential, albeit slow, transition towards greater diversity. If this trend continues and accelerates, the community might eventually transition into a "Transitional Community" category, particularly if economic opportunities increase and attract a more diverse population.
The modest but steady income growth suggests that the economic situation may continue to improve gradually. However, without significant economic development or changes in local industries, dramatic shifts in population or demographics are unlikely in the short term.
In conclusion, while Burnside has maintained a stable demographic and economic profile over the past decade, small changes hint at potential future diversification. The community's ability to attract and retain a more diverse population may depend on continued economic growth and potentially expanding opportunities that could appeal to a broader range of residents.
