Martins Creek, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 96% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city's current median income is $74,455, with a population of 1,930.
Over the past decade, Martins Creek has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained dominant, ranging from 91% to 98% throughout the period. There has been a marginal increase in representation from other racial groups. The black population increased from no reported data to 1%, and the Asian population grew from no data to 2%. The "two or more races" category appeared in the data from 2017 onwards, consistently representing 1-2% of the population.
The median income in Martins Creek has fluctuated over the decade. The highest median income was recorded at $80,479 in 2013. There was a decline to $68,214 in 2016, followed by a recovery. The income peaked again in 2021 at $84,880 before declining to $74,455 in 2022. Population trends show a general decline from 2,164 in 2010 to 1,930 in 2022, with some fluctuations.
Martins Creek appears to be changing at a much slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity. The community's high percentage of white residents and slow pace of diversification contrast with broader national patterns of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in many urban and suburban areas.
Based on the observed trends, it is likely that Martins Creek will remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the foreseeable future. However, if the subtle trends towards increased diversity continue or accelerate, the community might eventually transition into a "Moderate Diversity" category. This transition would require significant changes, such as continued growth in Asian, Black, and multiracial populations, potential influx of Hispanic residents, and economic factors that might attract a more diverse population.
Given the slow pace of change, such a transition would likely take several decades unless there are significant external factors accelerating demographic shifts. In the near term, Martins Creek is more likely to remain a predominantly white community with very gradual increases in minority representation.
