The zip code 19333 in Devon, Pennsylvania, is classified as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The population is predominantly white (75%) with a significant Asian minority (14%). The community is affluent, with a median income of $145,729 in 2022, which is above the national average. This combination of low racial diversity and high income levels indicates an exclusive, wealthy suburb.
Over the past decade, Devon has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community. The white population has decreased from 84% in 2013 to 75% in 2022. The Asian population has increased from 10% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. Hispanic and Black populations have grown from 2% and 0% respectively in 2013 to 5% and 2% in 2022. These changes suggest a slow trend towards increased racial diversity, potentially categorizing Devon as a Transitional Community.
The median income in Devon has fluctuated but remained high. It peaked at $164,095 in 2021, coinciding with the highest population of 8,032. There was a slight decrease in median income to $145,729 in 2022, accompanied by a small population decrease to 7,825. These figures indicate a correlation between the area's demographic composition and its economic status.
Devon's changes are occurring at a slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The area's high median income and slow pace of diversification suggest it may be somewhat insulated from broader demographic shifts. The slight increase in Asian population aligns with trends of Asian immigration to affluent suburbs, often driven by high-skilled job opportunities and excellent school districts. The small but growing Hispanic and Black populations might indicate a gradual opening up of the community.
The persistent Low Diversity categorization and consistently high income levels suggest that Devon remains a highly exclusive community. This exclusivity may be maintained through high property values and other socio-economic barriers that limit access to more diverse populations. The slow pace of change suggests that significant shifts in the community's demographic makeup are unlikely in the near future without substantial changes in local housing policies or broader economic conditions.
