Davidsville, Pennsylvania, is classified as a community with Low Diversity. In 2022, the white population comprises 91% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city's median income is $57,096, showing a decline from previous years. Davidsville has a population of 1,512 in 2022, representing a relatively small community that has undergone some demographic changes over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Davidsville has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community. The white population percentage has decreased from 98% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. The Asian population has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, with a peak of 6% in 2019-2020. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, around 1-2% throughout the decade. The category of "Two or More Races" emerged in 2020 and has grown to 5% by 2022.
The median income in Davidsville has fluctuated over the years. It peaked in 2018 at $68,877 but has since declined to $57,096 in 2022. This economic downturn coincides with the period of increased racial diversity, particularly the growth in Asian and multiracial populations. The population has decreased from 1,823 in 2010 to 1,512 in 2022, which could be influencing economic trends.
Davidsville's trends align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in rural and suburban areas. However, the community's rate of diversification appears slower than national averages, and it remains predominantly white compared to many other areas in the United States.
Based on the observed trends, Davidsville is likely to continue its slow progression towards increased diversity. The white population may decrease to around 85-88% in the next 5-10 years. The Asian and multiracial populations are likely to continue growing, possibly reaching 5-7% each. The Hispanic population may see a slight increase, potentially reaching 2-3%.
Economically, if the downward trend in median income continues, it could potentially impact the community's ability to attract and retain a diverse population. However, if economic conditions improve, it might accelerate the diversification process.
While Davidsville is unlikely to transition to a new category in the immediate future, it shows early signs of potentially becoming a Transitional Community. This transition would be characterized by a continued decrease in the white population percentage and increases in other racial groups, particularly Asian and multiracial populations. However, this transition, if it occurs, would likely take several more decades at the current rate of change.
