The zip code 07751 in Morganville, New Jersey, is classified as a "White Majority" area with moderate diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 63% of the total, while Asian residents represent 24%. The area has a median income of $149,952 in 2022, indicating high affluence compared to national averages.
Morganville has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" area to one of "Moderate Diversity" over the past decade. In 2013, the white population was 72%, near the "Low Diversity" category. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 63%, while the Asian population increased from 19% to 24%. The community has been moving towards greater diversity, with small increases in Black, Hispanic, and multiracial populations.
The increase in diversity has not significantly affected the area's overall economic status. The median income has remained high throughout the decade, ranging between approximately $150,000 and $156,000. This suggests that the incoming diverse population likely belongs to similar socioeconomic brackets as existing residents.
The population has grown moderately from 19,385 in 2013 to 20,355 in 2022, indicating a stable and attractive community for new residents. This growth, combined with maintained high incomes, suggests that the area remains desirable across various demographic groups.
The demographic shifts in Morganville align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas, particularly those near major metropolitan centers. The high median income and gradual diversification are characteristic of affluent suburbs becoming more inclusive while maintaining their economic status.
The significant Asian population growth is consistent with trends seen in other high-income suburbs, particularly in the Northeast and West Coast, where Asian Americans have been increasingly moving to affluent areas with strong educational systems.
The stability of high incomes despite increasing diversity contrasts with some national patterns where rapid diversification has sometimes correlated with economic changes. This stability suggests that Morganville is experiencing a form of "selective diversity," where new residents are likely professionals and highly skilled workers from various ethnic backgrounds.
Morganville represents a gradual transition towards greater diversity within a high-income suburban context. This evolution reflects broader national trends of suburban diversification but stands out for maintaining its economic status throughout the process. As the community continues to evolve, it may eventually transition from a "White Majority" to a "Moderate Diversity" or even "High Diversity" classification, potentially serving as a model for inclusive affluent suburbs.
