Zip code 03586 in Lisbon, New Hampshire, is classified as a community with Low Diversity as of 2022. The population is 94% white, aligning with the definition of Low Diversity where one racial group comprises over 75% of the population. This demographic composition has remained stable over the past decade, with the white population consistently representing over 90% of the total from 2013 to 2022.
Minor changes in racial composition have occurred. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races fluctuated between 1% and 2%. The Asian population remained between 0% and 1%. These shifts indicate a slight trend towards increased diversity, though not significant enough to alter the community's overall classification.
The median income in Lisbon has shown fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was a general upward trend, rising from $65,271 to $70,178. In 2020, a significant drop to $48,023 occurred, potentially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Strong recovery followed in 2021 and 2022, with median income reaching $89,465 in 2022. These economic changes have not significantly impacted the racial composition of the community.
Population trends indicate a general decline from 994 in 2010 to 872 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. This decrease has not significantly altered the racial makeup of the community.
Lisbon's demographic profile aligns with broader trends in New Hampshire, which is one of the least diverse states in the U.S. As of 2020, New Hampshire's population was approximately 90% white, similar to Lisbon's 94% white population.
The economic recovery in Lisbon post-2020 appears more robust than the national average. While many areas in the U.S. faced economic challenges due to the pandemic, Lisbon's median income in 2022 significantly surpassed its pre-pandemic levels.
In conclusion, Lisbon remains a Low Diversity community with a strong white majority. Subtle signs of increasing diversity are present, particularly in the Hispanic population. The area has demonstrated economic resilience, especially in recent years, though these economic changes have not led to significant demographic shifts. Future monitoring will determine if these nascent diversity trends accelerate and potentially lead to a transition in the community's diversity classification.
