Jerseytown, Pennsylvania, exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile, with a predominantly White population (98% in 2022). The city's median income was $62,333 in 2022. This analysis explores Jerseytown's demographics and economics over the past decade.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Jerseytown maintained its Low Diversity categorization. The White population remained above 98% for most years, with minor fluctuations. There was no significant transition between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition.
Subtle changes in demographics include a slight increase in diversity from 2020 to 2022, with the emergence of a small Asian population (1% in 2022) and a consistent 1% of the population identifying as two or more races. The Hispanic population, which peaked at 2% between 2014-2016, declined to non-reportable levels by 2019.
The median income in Jerseytown showed overall growth from $53,098 in 2013 to $62,333 in 2022, an increase of about 17.4% over nine years. This growth was not linear, with a significant jump between 2014 and 2015, a peak in 2017, and a slight decline in recent years.
Population fluctuated with an overall growth trend from 1,528 in 2013 to 1,757 in 2022, representing a 15% increase. The population growth was more pronounced in recent years, particularly from 2020 to 2022.
While national trends have generally shown increasing diversity, Jerseytown maintained its homogeneous racial composition. The income growth in Jerseytown generally aligns with national trends of rising median incomes over the past decade.
Based on observed trends, Jerseytown is likely to maintain its Low Diversity categorization in the near future. However, recent small increases in Asian population and those identifying as two or more races might indicate the beginning of a gradual shift towards slightly more diversity.
Economically, recent trends suggest a possible stabilization or slight decrease in median income in the short term. However, the overall trend of income growth over the decade suggests that any decline is likely to be temporary, barring significant economic disruptions.
The recent population growth trend is likely to continue, potentially bringing more diversity to the area over time. If this growth continues and attracts a more diverse population, Jerseytown might eventually transition towards a Transitional Community category, albeit at a very slow pace given its current demographic makeup.
In conclusion, while Jerseytown has remained stable in its Low Diversity categorization, subtle changes in recent years hint at the potential for gradual demographic shifts. The economic trajectory, while generally positive over the decade, shows some recent variability that warrants continued observation.
