Tidioute, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 90% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The city has a population of 802 residents as of 2022, with a median income of $34,499.
Over the past decade, Tidioute has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has decreased from 99% in 2013 to 90% in 2022. The Hispanic population has grown from 1% in 2015 to 6% in 2022. The population identifying as two or more races has increased from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.
The median income in Tidioute has fluctuated over the years. It increased from $32,272 in 2013 to a peak of $45,833 in 2021. There was a drop to $34,499 in 2022. Population figures have also varied. The population decreased from 873 in 2010 to a low of 724 in 2017. Since then, there has been a gradual increase to 802 in 2022.
The economic trends do not show a clear correlation with the demographic shifts. The recent drop in median income in 2022 coincides with the highest levels of diversity observed.
The demographic shifts in Tidioute align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in rural and small-town America. The pace of change in Tidioute appears to be slower than national averages.
Based on observed trends, Tidioute will likely continue to slowly diversify over the coming years. It may remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the near future, but could transition into a "Transitional Community" if current trends accelerate.
The sharp drop in median income in 2022 warrants close monitoring. If this decline continues, it could impact the pace of demographic change, either by encouraging outmigration of current residents or attracting new residents seeking lower cost of living.
Tidioute remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community, but subtle shifts in its demographic makeup suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity. The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent income decline, add uncertainty to future projections. Local policymakers should be attentive to these trends and their potential impacts on community dynamics and economic development strategies.
