The zip code 06417 in Deep River Center, Connecticut, is classified as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The area's population is 90% white, which aligns with the definition of Low Diversity where one racial group comprises over 75% of the population. In 2022, the median income was $86,573, and the population was 4,367.
Deep River Center has maintained its Low Diversity status over the past decade. The white population has remained dominant, fluctuating between 90-92% from 2013 to 2022. There are subtle indications of a Transitional Community emerging, particularly in the Hispanic and multiracial populations. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, peaking at 6% in 2021. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races grew from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022.
The median income in Deep River Center has fluctuated over the decade without a clear linear trend. It reached its highest point in 2020 at $107,255 and its lowest in 2018 at $83,043. The most recent data for 2022 shows a significant drop to $86,573 from the previous year's $103,710. There is a weak correlation between the increasing Hispanic population and changes in median income, but this correlation is not consistent across all years.
The population has shown a gradual decline over the decade, from 4,582 in 2010 to 4,367 in 2022. This decline does not appear to have a clear relationship with the subtle increases in diversity or the fluctuations in median income.
The demographic composition of Deep River Center differs significantly from national averages. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that the white non-Hispanic population in the United States was about 59% in 2022, significantly lower than the 90% white population in this zip code. The median household income in Deep River Center ($86,573 in 2022) is higher than the national median, which was around $70,784 in 2021.
Deep River Center remains a Low Diversity area with a strong white majority, but there are early indications of a Transitional Community emerging. The economic picture is mixed, with incomes remaining above national averages but showing significant recent volatility. These trends suggest a community that is beginning to experience demographic changes, albeit at a slower pace than many other parts of the country, while maintaining a relatively strong economic position.
