Burrville, a neighborhood in Torrington, Connecticut, is characterized as a White Majority community with Low Diversity. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 85% of the neighborhood, with a median income of $80,889. The neighborhood has experienced minor demographic changes over the past decade, indicating a potential shift towards increased diversity.
From 2013 to 2022, Burrville has maintained its status as a White Majority community. The white population decreased from 92% in 2013 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 0% to 5% over the same period. These changes suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter Burrville's White Majority classification.
The median income in Burrville has fluctuated over the years. It reached a peak of $93,920 in 2021 but decreased to $80,889 in 2022. The overall trend from 2013 to 2022 shows a slight decrease from $88,900 to $80,889. These economic changes coincide with the gradual increase in diversity. The slight decrease in median income may be related to the influx of new, potentially younger or immigrant families, often associated with growing Hispanic populations in many U.S. communities.
Population figures have remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 7,435 in 2013 to 7,316 in 2022. This stability indicates that the demographic changes are likely due to natural population turnover rather than large-scale migration.
The gradual increase in diversity in Burrville aligns with broader national trends. Many suburban and rural areas across the United States have experienced similar patterns of slowly increasing diversity, particularly with growing Hispanic populations. However, Burrville's changes appear to be occurring at a slower rate compared to national averages.
The economic trends in Burrville, particularly the recent drop in median income, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by many American communities in recent years, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recovery.
Burrville remains a White Majority, Low Diversity community, but shows signs of a gradual transition towards increased diversity. These demographic shifts, coupled with fluctuations in median income, suggest that Burrville is experiencing subtle but notable changes in its social and economic fabric. As these trends continue, they may have implications for local services, community dynamics, and economic development strategies in the coming years.
