Proctor, Vermont (zip code 05765) is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 97% of the total, with a small representation of other racial groups. The area has a population of 1,593 and a median income of $65,935.
Proctor has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community throughout the past decade. The white population has remained dominant, ranging from 96% to 100% of the total population between 2013 and 2022. A slight increase in diversity occurred in recent years, with the emergence of a small "two or more races" population (3% in 2022). This change is minimal and does not alter the overall demographic categorization.
The community has not transitioned between different diversity categories during this period. The small increase in the "two or more races" category in recent years could potentially indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community" if this trend continues and accelerates in the future.
The median income in Proctor has shown an overall upward trend from 2013 to 2022, with some fluctuations. In 2013, it was $51,643. It increased to $65,345 in 2017, reached a peak of $68,029 in 2019, and slightly decreased to $65,935 in 2022. This general increase in median income correlates with the consistent "Low Diversity" status of the community.
Population trends show a slight decline from 1,579 in 2010 to 1,373 in 2016, followed by a gradual increase to 1,593 in 2022. The recent population growth coincides with the slight increase in diversity and the overall rise in median income.
Proctor's demographic composition is not typical of the increasing diversity seen in many parts of the United States. The economic growth in Proctor aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 financial crisis. However, the lack of significant demographic change in this community contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas.
Proctor represents a stable, predominantly white community with gradual economic improvement over the past decade. While there are hints of potential future demographic changes, the area remains characterized by low diversity and economic growth.
