Lincolnville, Pennsylvania is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 98% of the total, which exceeds the 75% threshold for this category. The city has a population of 574 as of 2022, with a median income of $50,178.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Lincolnville has consistently fallen into the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has remained dominant, never dropping below 97% of the total population. There have been minimal fluctuations in other racial groups, with occasional small representations of Black, Hispanic, and multiracial residents, but these have not significantly shifted the overall demographic makeup.
The median income in Lincolnville has shown an upward trend over the past decade, increasing from $37,082 in 2013 to $50,178 in 2022, representing a growth of about 35%. This increase in median income has occurred alongside the maintenance of the area's low diversity status. The population of Lincolnville has fluctuated over the years, peaking at 767 in 2010 and declining to 574 in 2022. This population decline of about 25% over 12 years is significant.
The persistent lack of diversity in Lincolnville contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The income growth, while positive, may or may not be keeping pace with national or regional averages.
Based on the observed trends, it seems likely that Lincolnville will remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the foreseeable future. The racial composition has shown stability over the past decade, with no indications of significant demographic shifts.
The consistent population decline could potentially lead to changes in the community's character if it continues. If younger residents are leaving and not being replaced, this could lead to an aging population and potentially impact future economic growth.
Economically, if the trend of increasing median income continues, it could lead to further economic stratification within the predominantly white community. This might eventually result in some in-migration, potentially increasing diversity slightly, but based on current trends, any such change would likely be gradual.
Lincolnville is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community with a slowly increasing median income, but may face challenges related to its declining population in the coming years.
