New Eagle, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the city has a white majority of 95% of the population, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The city's population is 2,164 and the median income is $46,372 in 2022.
Over the past decade, New Eagle has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" category. From 2013 to 2018, there was a slight decrease in the white population from 92% to 88%, with a small increase in Hispanic representation from 1% to 8%. Post-2018, this trend reversed, with the white population increasing back to 95% by 2022, while the Hispanic population decreased to 0%. The 'two or more races' category has shown a slight increase, reaching 4% in 2022.
The median income in New Eagle has shown an overall upward trend. From $39,746 in 2013 to $46,372 in 2022, there was a 16.7% increase over the decade. The most significant increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, from $46,799 to $49,781. There was a slight decrease in 2022, possibly correlating with the decrease in population from 2,377 in 2021 to 2,164 in 2022.
The population has fluctuated over the years but has remained relatively stable, ranging from a low of 2,048 in 2015 to a high of 2,377 in 2021.
New Eagle's demographic composition differs significantly from national averages. The U.S. as a whole has been trending towards greater diversity, while New Eagle has maintained its high white majority. The income growth in the borough, while positive, may not have kept pace with national inflation rates.
Based on the observed trends, New Eagle will likely remain in the "Low Diversity" category in the near future. However, the slight increase in the 'two or more races' category might indicate a very gradual shift towards more diversity. If this trend continues and accelerates, the community might eventually transition into a "Transitional Community" category, albeit at a slow pace.
Economically, the overall upward trend in median income suggests continued modest growth, barring any significant economic disruptions. However, the recent population decrease and income dip in 2022 should be monitored as potential indicators of emerging economic challenges.
New Eagle has maintained a stable demographic profile over the past decade. Subtle shifts and economic fluctuations suggest a community that may be on the cusp of gradual change. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial for understanding the borough's future trajectory.
