Troxelville, Pennsylvania (zip code 17813) is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community, with a predominantly white population (97% in 2022). The area has maintained this demographic composition over the past decade, showing little change in its racial makeup. As of 2022, the median income was $58,781, with a population of 2,252 residents.
Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), Troxelville has remained in the "Low Diversity" category. The white population has consistently comprised over 95% of the total, with minimal representation from other racial groups. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition.
There are subtle changes worth noting: a slight decrease in the white population from 99% in 2013 to 97% in 2022, a small but consistent Hispanic presence fluctuating between 1-3% since 2013, and the emergence of a small two-or-more races population (1%) in recent years. These minor shifts suggest a very slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, though not enough to change the overall categorization of the community.
The median income in Troxelville has shown a general upward trend over the past decade, from $46,091 in 2013 to $58,781 in 2022. This represents a 27.5% increase over nine years, outpacing inflation for the same period. The most significant jump occurred between 2020 and 2021, with median income rising from $57,912 to $66,420, before slightly decreasing in 2022.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2,185 and 2,285 residents over the decade. This stability in population, coupled with the increasing median income, suggests a gradually improving economic situation for the existing residents rather than significant in-migration changing the community's composition.
Troxelville appears to be maintaining its historically homogeneous demographic profile. This is not uncommon for rural areas, especially in parts of Pennsylvania with historically low diversity. The economic improvements seen in Troxelville, as evidenced by the rising median income, align with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the lack of significant demographic change suggests that these economic improvements have primarily benefited the existing population rather than attracting a more diverse influx of new residents.
Troxelville presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with gradual economic improvement but minimal demographic change. While there are hints of very slow diversification, the area remains firmly in the "Low Diversity" category, diverging from national trends towards increased racial diversity but aligning with patterns often seen in rural, historically homogeneous communities.
