Mingoville, Pennsylvania, is characterized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 94% of the total, with a median income of $79,499. The city has a population of 1,162 residents spread over 1.83 square miles, resulting in a population density of about 635 people per square mile.
Over the past decade, Mingoville has consistently maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. From 2013 to 2020, the white population percentage remained stable at 97-99%. In 2021, a slight shift occurred with the introduction of 1% in the "other" category. In 2022, the white population decreased to 94%, while Asian (2%), Hispanic (1%), Native American (1%), and Two or More Races (2%) categories emerged.
The median income in Mingoville has shown overall growth over the past decade, increasing from $70,066 in 2013 to $79,499 in 2022. This represents a 13.5% increase over nine years. There was a significant jump in median income between 2017 ($67,381) and 2018 ($78,027), followed by continued growth until 2021 before a slight decrease in 2022.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1,162 and 1,267 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the increasing median income, suggests a generally improving economic situation for the existing residents rather than significant in-migration changing the demographic makeup.
The trends in Mingoville appear to diverge somewhat from broader national trends towards increasing diversity. The community has maintained its low diversity status for much longer than many areas across the United States. However, the very recent shifts in 2022 might indicate that Mingoville is beginning to follow national trends towards greater diversity, albeit at a slower pace.
Based on the observed trends, particularly the notable shift in 2022, Mingoville appears to be on the cusp of a demographic transition. If the trends observed in 2022 continue or accelerate, Mingoville might transition from a Low Diversity community to a Moderate Diversity community within the next 5-10 years. This would involve continued growth in the Asian, Hispanic, Native American, and multiracial populations, potentially reaching levels where two or more racial groups have significant representation.
Economically, if the upward trend in median income continues, we might expect to see further economic growth in the community. This could potentially attract more diverse residents, further accelerating the demographic shift. However, these changes are still in their early stages, and continued monitoring will be necessary to confirm if this is indeed the beginning of a long-term trend or a temporary fluctuation in the data.
