Kenilworth, Pennsylvania, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population constitutes 92% of the total in 2022, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity. The city's current median income is $76,604, which has decreased from previous years.
Over the past decade, Kenilworth has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The white population has remained above 88% throughout this period, with minor fluctuations. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition.
Minor changes have been observed, including a slight decrease in the white population from 95% in 2016 to 92% in 2022, a small but consistent increase in the Hispanic population from 0% in 2016 to 4% in 2022, and the emergence and growth of the "two or more races" category, reaching 2% by 2022. These shifts suggest the beginnings of a slow diversification process.
The median income in Kenilworth has shown volatility over the past decade. It peaked at $92,083 in 2015, fluctuated between $86,000 and $89,000 for several years, and has declined to $76,604 in 2022. This downward trend does not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Kenilworth's demographic stability contrasts with many areas experiencing rapid diversification. The recent decline in median income may align with broader economic challenges faced by many American communities in recent years.
Based on observed trends, Kenilworth is likely to maintain its Low Diversity, White Majority status in the near future. If current trends continue, a gradual increase in the Hispanic population to 5-6% in the next 5 years, continued growth in the "two or more races" category to 3-4%, and a corresponding decrease in the white population to above 85% may be expected.
Economically, if the downward trend in median income continues, it could lead to socio-economic changes within the community. This might accelerate demographic shifts if it results in changes to housing affordability or job markets.
These changes are not likely to be dramatic enough in the short term to shift Kenilworth out of its Low Diversity category. However, if the trends accelerate, the community could potentially transition towards a Moderate Diversity classification in the long term, particularly if the combined non-white population approaches or exceeds 25%. This transition, if it occurs, would likely be a gradual process over many years or decades given the current demographic stability of the area.
