Flying Hills, Pennsylvania, is classified as a Low Diversity community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 85% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The Hispanic population, at 15%, represents the largest minority group. The city's current median income is $79,826.
Flying Hills has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community throughout the analyzed period. The white population decreased from 93% in 2016 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 1% in 2016 to 15% in 2022. This trend suggests a gradual movement towards increased diversity, though not yet enough to shift the community into a new category.
The median income has shown an upward trend, rising from $63,216 in 2015 to $79,826 in 2022, an increase of about 26%. This economic growth coincides with the increasing diversity. The population has decreased from 2,356 in 2015 to 1,741 in 2022, a decline of about 26%.
The trends observed in Flying Hills align with broader patterns seen in many American communities: increasing diversity, particularly growth in Hispanic populations; rising median incomes in suburban areas; and population shifts from smaller communities to larger urban centers.
Based on the observed trends, Flying Hills is likely to continue its trajectory towards increased diversity. The community may transition from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity within the next 5-10 years, as the white population potentially drops below 75% and the Hispanic population continues to grow. Median income is likely to continue rising, potentially reaching or exceeding $85,000 within the next few years.
The population decline may stabilize or reverse if the area becomes more attractive to diverse, affluent families seeking suburban living. The community might eventually transition into a Majority-Minority status in the long term (15-20 years) if current trends continue unabated.
These predictions suggest that Flying Hills is on a path of gradual demographic and economic transformation, moving towards a more diverse and potentially more economically robust future.
