Kistler, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 97% of the total, indicating a homogeneous racial composition. The city's population is 509, with a median income of $45,869.
Over the past decade, Kistler has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has remained dominant, ranging from 91% to 97%. Other racial groups have shown minimal changes, with Black and Hispanic populations combined never exceeding 4%.
The median income has increased from $34,410 in 2013 to $45,869 in 2022, representing a 33% growth over nine years. This economic improvement has occurred alongside a population decline from 601 in 2013 to 509 in 2022, a 15% decrease.
Kistler's demographic homogeneity is notable in comparison to many American communities experiencing increasing diversity. The economic growth, despite population decline, suggests a potential improvement in residents' quality of life, though it may also indicate changing local dynamics.
Based on observed trends, Kistler is likely to remain in the "Low Diversity" category. The consistent racial composition over the past decade suggests a stable community structure resistant to rapid demographic changes. The declining population coupled with rising median income might indicate a shift towards an older, potentially more affluent resident base.
If current trends continue, a further consolidation of the white majority may occur. The economic trajectory suggests continued income growth, which could attract new residents but may not significantly alter the racial composition given historical trends.
The slight increases in Black and multi-racial populations in recent years could potentially signal the early stages of a transition. If these changes accelerate, Kistler might eventually move towards a "Transitional Community" category, but this would likely be a slow process given the current demographic stability.
Kistler presents a small, racially homogeneous community experiencing economic growth amidst population decline. While significant shifts in diversity seem unlikely in the near term, ongoing economic changes may gradually influence the community's demographic makeup over the long term.
