Dallas, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 91% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city's current median income is $82,440, indicating relative affluence, especially considering its small population of 2,694 residents.
Dallas has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade. However, there are indications of increasing diversity at a slow pace. The white population has decreased from 95% in 2018 to 91% in 2022. Concurrently, there has been a small increase in other racial groups, particularly in the Black and Asian populations.
The median income in Dallas has grown from $66,752 in 2013 to $82,440 in 2022, representing a 23.5% increase. This economic growth appears to coincide with the slight increase in diversity, suggesting a possible correlation between increasing diversity and economic prosperity.
Population figures have remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between 2,700 and 2,800 residents. This stability in population, coupled with rising incomes and increasing diversity, may indicate a gradual influx of more affluent and diverse residents while maintaining the community's overall size.
The trends observed in Dallas align with broader patterns of increasing diversity in suburban and small-town America. However, the pace of diversification in Dallas appears to be slower than national averages, maintaining its predominantly white demographic makeup.
Based on observed trends, Dallas will likely continue gradual diversification over the next decade. While it may remain in the "Low Diversity" category in the near term, it could potentially transition into a "Moderate Diversity" community if current trends accelerate.
Economically, the area seems positioned for continued growth, with median incomes likely to increase further. This economic prosperity could attract more diverse residents, potentially accelerating the diversification process.
Significant demographic shifts in small communities can take considerable time. The community's relatively high median income and stable population suggest a degree of economic exclusivity that might slow rapid demographic changes.
Dallas presents a picture of a predominantly white, economically prosperous small town experiencing very gradual diversification. While it remains in the "Low Diversity" category, subtle shifts suggest a slow but steady move towards increased racial diversity, potentially correlating with its rising economic status. The coming years may see this community at the cusp of transitioning from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" if current trends continue or accelerate.
