Edenburg, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a community with Low Diversity as of 2022. The white population consistently comprises over 90% of the total population, with 94% in 2022. This demographic composition aligns with the "Low Diversity" definition where one racial group dominates with over 75% of the population.
Over the past decade, Edenburg has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community. The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 98% in 2013 to 94% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown a gradual increase from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. Other racial groups have maintained minimal representation throughout the period. These changes indicate a slow trend towards slightly increased diversity.
The median income in Edenburg has shown a general upward trend. It increased from $66,665 in 2013 to $77,853 in 2022, representing a 16.8% growth over the decade. The most significant jump occurred between 2020 and 2021, with an increase from $77,162 to $81,951. Population figures have fluctuated over the years, with a slight overall increase from 2,336 in 2013 to 2,496 in 2022. This represents a 6.8% increase, suggesting a relatively stable community size.
Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Edenburg will continue to be categorized as a Low Diversity community in the near future. If current trends persist, the community might slowly transition towards Moderate Diversity over the next few decades, particularly if the Hispanic population continues to grow and other minority groups start to establish a presence. The median income is likely to continue its upward trajectory, potentially leading to increased economic opportunities and possibly attracting more diverse residents. The population size may remain relatively stable or see slow growth, which could impact the pace of demographic change.
In conclusion, while Edenburg currently fits the Low Diversity category, it shows early signs of a Transitional Community. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population and the slight decrease in the white population percentage, coupled with rising median incomes, suggest a slow but steady movement towards greater diversity. However, this transition is likely to occur over an extended period, barring any significant external factors that could accelerate demographic changes.
