Level Green, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 88% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city has experienced subtle demographic shifts over the past decade, along with fluctuations in median income and population growth.
From 2013 to 2017, Level Green maintained an extremely low diversity profile, with the white population consistently representing 97-100% of residents. Beginning in 2018, the community showed signs of a gradual transition towards slightly increased diversity. The Asian population emerged, stabilizing at 4% from 2018 to 2022. Hispanic representation grew from 0% in 2018 to 4% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 0% to 4% between 2020 and 2022. These changes, while modest, indicate a slow but steady trend towards increased diversity.
The median income in Level Green has shown considerable volatility over the observed period. Peak income was observed in 2014 at $94,986. A general decline occurred from 2015 to 2019, reaching a low of $83,416. A recovery began in 2020, peaking again at $91,796 in 2021. However, 2022 saw a significant drop to $74,871. The period of increasing diversity (2018-2022) initially coincided with declining incomes, followed by a brief recovery, and then a sharp decline. This suggests that the demographic shifts and economic changes may be interrelated.
Population has grown steadily from 5,896 in 2010 to 6,573 in 2022, indicating that the area remains attractive to new residents despite income fluctuations. The gradual increase in diversity in Level Green aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the community remains significantly less diverse than national averages, where non-Hispanic whites make up about 60% of the population. The median income, even at its 2022 low, remains above the national median household income.
Based on the observed trends, Level Green is likely to continue its slow transition towards increased diversity. If current trajectories persist, we might expect a continued gradual decrease in the white population percentage, further increases in Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial populations, and potential emergence of other racial groups not currently represented. Economically, the sharp drop in median income in 2022 is concerning and warrants monitoring. If this is not an anomaly, it could indicate a significant shift in the local economy that might influence future demographic trends.
Given these projections, Level Green may transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" within the next 5-10 years if the rate of change accelerates. This transition would require continued growth in minority populations and potentially some outmigration of the white population or differential birth rates. In conclusion, while Level Green remains a predominantly white, affluent community, it shows early signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. This shift, coupled with recent economic volatility, suggests a community in the early stages of significant demographic and economic change.
