The zip code 03104 in Manchester, New Hampshire is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The white population comprises 80% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity. Over the past decade, the area has undergone modest demographic changes, showing a slight trend towards increased diversity. The zip code has experienced fluctuations in median income, with a notable increase in recent years.
From 2013 to 2022, the zip code has maintained its "White Majority" status. The white population has gradually decreased from 82% in 2013 to 80% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady diversification trend. This change suggests the area may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community." The Hispanic population has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 7% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. The Asian population has remained relatively stable at 3-5%, while the Black population has increased slightly from 2% to 4%. The "Two or More Races" category has grown from 1% to 5%, indicating an increase in multiracial residents.
The median income in the zip code has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, there has been an overall increase from $70,258 to $76,405, representing an 8.7% growth. This growth has not been linear. The area experienced a peak in median income in 2021 at $84,259, followed by a significant drop in 2022. The periods of increased diversity appear to correlate with periods of economic growth. For instance, the years 2020 and 2021, which saw increases in diversity, also saw significant increases in median income.
The trends observed in this zip code align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban and urban areas. The growth in the Hispanic population and multiracial categories is consistent with national demographic shifts. The economic fluctuations, particularly the sharp increase and subsequent decrease in median income from 2020 to 2022, likely reflect broader economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Many areas across the U.S. experienced similar patterns of economic volatility during this period.
Zip code 03104 remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but it shows signs of gradual diversification. This trend, coupled with overall positive economic growth despite recent volatility, suggests a community in transition. If these trends continue, the area may evolve into a more diverse community in the coming years, potentially shifting from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" or becoming a "Transitional Community" in the near future.
