Kingston, Ohio (zip code 45644) is categorized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, 96% of the population identifies as white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The median income in 2022 was $74,093, showing an increase over the past decade.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Kingston has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population has remained above 95% for the entire period, with slight fluctuations. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increased from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The black population, not measurable in earlier years, reached 1% by 2020 and has maintained that level. The Hispanic population has remained stable at around 1% throughout the period.
The median income in Kingston has shown an upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, the median income was $62,223. By 2022, it had increased to $74,093, representing a 19% increase over nine years. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $76,190. This economic growth has occurred alongside the slight increase in diversity, suggesting that the community has experienced modest economic improvement while maintaining its demographic composition.
Population figures have fluctuated over the years. The population increased from 3,873 in 2010 to 4,694 in 2020, a growth of about 21%. However, there was a slight decline to 4,307 in 2022. These population changes, coupled with the income growth, might indicate that Kingston has become a more desirable place to live, potentially attracting a slightly more diverse population, albeit in very small numbers.
The consistent Low Diversity categorization of Kingston contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The median income growth in Kingston (19% over nine years) outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, suggesting real economic growth for the community. The slight increase in diversity, while minimal, aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial diversity in many communities, though at a much slower pace in Kingston.
Kingston remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community that has experienced modest economic growth over the past decade. While there are slight indications of increasing diversity, these changes are minimal and have not significantly altered the community's overall demographic composition. The economic growth and population increase suggest a stable and potentially increasingly desirable community, though one that remains less diverse than many other areas of the country.
