Hannasville, Pennsylvania, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" based on established criteria. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 97% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city's current population is 560, with a median income of $57,802.
Over the past decade, Hannasville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained dominant, never falling below 97% throughout the observed period. There are subtle signs of gradual diversification, including the introduction of a small Hispanic population (1%) from 2019 onwards, the emergence of a small black population (1%) in 2021, which decreased to 0% in 2022, and a consistent presence of individuals identifying as two or more races (1-2%) since 2014. Despite these minor changes, the community has not transitioned from its "Low Diversity" category.
The median income in Hannasville has shown an upward trend over the past decade, increasing from $45,577 in 2013 to $57,802 in 2022, representing a growth of about 26.8% over nine years. However, this economic growth has not corresponded with population growth. The population has declined from 853 in 2013 to 560 in 2022, a decrease of approximately 34.3%.
The inverse relationship between income growth and population decline could suggest several possibilities: outmigration of lower-income residents, economic improvements benefiting a shrinking population, or an aging population with retirees being replaced by fewer but higher-earning working-age individuals.
The persistent lack of racial diversity in Hannasville is notable, especially given broader national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The economic growth, while positive, may not be keeping pace with national averages, which could partly explain the population decline.
Based on the observed trends, Hannasville is likely to remain in the "Low Diversity" category in the near future. The slow pace of diversification suggests that any transition to a more diverse category would take many years at the current rate.
Economically, if current trends continue, we might expect to see continued gradual increases in median income, further population decline, and a possible transition to an older demographic profile, which could impact future economic dynamics.
While the community shows no immediate signs of transitioning to a new demographic category, the slow introduction of Hispanic residents and the occasional presence of other racial groups might eventually lead to a "Transitional Community" status. However, this would require a significant acceleration of current diversification trends.
In conclusion, Hannasville presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with slowly rising incomes but facing challenges related to population decline. Any major shifts in the community's character are likely to be driven more by economic and population size factors than by racial diversification in the near term.
