Elderberry Pond, a neighborhood in Levittown, Pennsylvania, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the neighborhood has a population of 940 residents and a median income of $102,752. This suburban area is characterized by well-maintained properties and a family-friendly atmosphere, typical of established neighborhoods in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Over the past decade, Elderberry Pond has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a consistent White Majority. However, there are indications of a gradual transition towards increased diversity. In 2013, the neighborhood was 98% white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. By 2022, while still predominantly white (90%), there has been a slow increase in Hispanic representation (9%), suggesting the beginnings of a potential Transitional Community. The Black population has shown fluctuations, peaking at 6% in 2020 but declining to 0% in 2022. Asian representation emerged in recent years, reaching 4% in 2021 but dropping to 2% in 2022.
The economic trajectory of Elderberry Pond has been generally positive over the past decade. Median income increased from $83,070 in 2013 to $102,752 in 2022, representing a 24% increase. The most significant increase occurred between 2015 and 2016, with median income rising from $92,663 to $103,931. Since 2016, median income has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $96,612 and $103,971.
The demographic shifts in Elderberry Pond, while modest, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the pace of change in this neighborhood appears slower than national averages. The sustained high median income and predominant white majority suggest that Elderberry Pond remains a relatively exclusive enclave, resistant to rapid demographic changes seen in more urban or economically diverse areas.
The neighborhood's economic stability and growth outpace national averages, with its 2022 median income of $102,752 significantly higher than the U.S. median household income of approximately $70,784 (as of 2021). This economic strength likely contributes to the neighborhood's ability to maintain its demographic composition while slowly integrating a more diverse population.
In conclusion, Elderberry Pond shows signs of a gradual transition towards increased diversity, but remains a predominantly white, affluent suburban neighborhood. The slow pace of demographic change, coupled with strong economic indicators, suggests a community that is evolving cautiously, balancing tradition with incremental diversity.
