Jennerstown in Pennsylvania exhibits low racial diversity. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 95% of the total, with 4% identifying as two or more races. The city's median income is $51,422, with a population of 1,787 as of 2022.
Over the past decade, Jennerstown has maintained its status as a low diversity community. The white population dominated, comprising 99% of the total from 2013 to 2019. A slight shift began in 2020, with 1% identifying as two or more races, increasing to 2% in 2021 and 4% in 2022, indicating a gradual trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Jennerstown has fluctuated over the years, showing a general downward trend. From $59,786 in 2013, it decreased to $51,422 in 2022, representing a decline of about 14% over nine years. This economic downturn coincides with the slight increase in racial diversity observed in recent years.
The population has shown variability, ranging from 1,123 in 2016 to 1,874 in 2021. The recent population increase (from 1,516 in 2019 to 1,787 in 2022) correlates with the slight increase in diversity, suggesting potential in-migration of a more diverse population.
Jennerstown's racial composition is less diverse than the national average. The slight increase in diversity may reflect broader national trends towards increasing racial diversity in many communities across the United States.
Based on observed trends, Jennerstown will likely continue to see a gradual increase in racial diversity over the coming years. However, given the current white majority, significant demographic shifts would be required for the community to transition out of the low diversity category in the near future.
If the current trend continues or accelerates, Jennerstown might slowly move towards a transitional community status over the next decade. This transition would be characterized by a continued increase in the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races, and potentially the introduction of other racial groups in small but growing numbers.
Economically, if the downward trend in median income continues, it could impact the community's ability to attract new residents and might slow down the diversification process. However, if the recent population growth continues, it could bring new economic opportunities and potentially reverse the income decline.
Jennerstown remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, but subtle signs of change are emerging. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether these early indicators of increased diversity develop into a more significant demographic shift.
