The zip code 03885 in Newfields, New Hampshire, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a median income of $127,164, which is above the national average, and a population of 7,802. This predominantly white community has experienced minor demographic changes over the past decade.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, Newfields has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has remained above 90% for the entire decade, decreasing slightly from 97% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. This minor shift does not alter the overall categorization but indicates a slow trend towards increased diversity.
The most significant change has been the growth in the Asian population, increasing from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022, with a peak of 6% in 2019. The Hispanic population has also seen a small increase from 1% to 2% over the decade. These changes suggest the area may be slowly transitioning towards slightly more diversity, though it remains far from reaching a "Moderate Diversity" classification.
The median income in Newfields has fluctuated over the decade but has generally remained very high. It peaked at $138,893 in 2015 and reached its lowest point at $114,599 in 2019. Despite these fluctuations, the area has consistently maintained an affluent status, with the 2022 median income of $127,164 still significantly above national averages.
The population has grown steadily from 7,359 in 2013 to 7,802 in 2022, a 6% increase over the decade. This gradual growth, combined with the consistently high median income, indicates a stable and attractive community for affluent residents.
Newfields's demographic profile contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While the U.S. as a whole has been moving towards a more multiracial and multicultural composition, Newfields has maintained its overwhelmingly white majority.
The area's high median income and slow population growth suggest a community that may have limited housing availability or strict zoning laws, potentially contributing to its demographic stasis. The slight increases in Asian and Hispanic populations, while small, align with broader national trends of growing diversity in suburban and rural areas, albeit at a much slower pace.
In conclusion, while Newfields shows early signs of a potential transition towards slightly more diversity, it remains a predominantly white, affluent community with high economic stability. The subtle demographic shifts observed over the past decade have not fundamentally altered the community's character but may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards increased diversity, should these patterns continue or accelerate in the coming years.
