West Brownsville, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the population is 718 with a median income of $52,778. The racial composition is 93% white, which places it in the "Low Diversity" category, as one racial group comprises over 75% of the population.
Over the past decade, West Brownsville has remained in the "Low Diversity" category. The white population percentage has decreased from 99% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. A small Hispanic population (2% as of 2022) has emerged, and there has been an increase in residents identifying as two or more races (3% in 2022).
The median income in West Brownsville has increased from $45,500 in 2013 to $52,778 in 2022, a 16% increase. The population has grown from 496 in 2013 to 718 in 2022, a 44.8% increase. This growth, along with the income increase and subtle diversification, indicates positive economic development.
The trends in West Brownsville reflect broader national patterns of slow diversification in small, predominantly white communities. However, the pace of change appears to be slower than national averages.
Based on observed trends, West Brownsville is likely to continue its slow trajectory towards increased diversity. It is probable that the community will remain in the "Low Diversity" category for the foreseeable future.
If current trends continue, the white population percentage may drop below 90% in the next 5-10 years. Further growth in the Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races is expected. The population may reach or exceed 800 residents by 2025. Median income may surpass $55,000 in the next few years.
These changes are unlikely to shift the community into a new diversity category in the near future. However, if diversification accelerates, West Brownsville could potentially transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the long term.
The gradual diversification and economic growth suggest that West Brownsville is slowly evolving while maintaining its core demographic characteristics. The community will likely face opportunities and challenges as it navigates these changes.
