Zip code 08010 in Beverly, New Jersey, is classified as a "White Majority" area with moderate diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 56% of the total, while Black (27%) and Hispanic (9%) populations contribute significantly to the area's diversity. The median income for 2022 was $73,108, and the population was 11,822.
Over the past decade, this zip code has experienced subtle but notable demographic changes. The area has consistently maintained a "White Majority" status throughout the decade, with the white population fluctuating between 51-56%. There is evidence of a "Transitional Community" trend, particularly in the growth of the Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races. The Hispanic population grew from 11% in 2013 to a peak of 19% in 2019, before declining to 9% in 2022. The multiracial population increased from 2% to 5% over the decade.
The Black population has remained relatively stable, ranging from 24-28% throughout the period, contributing to the area's "Moderate Diversity." The Asian population has remained consistently small at 1-3% throughout the decade.
The median income has shown overall growth, increasing from $68,183 in 2013 to $73,108 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. The peak was in 2021 at $79,429. The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight overall decrease from 11,672 in 2013 to 11,822 in 2022. There was a noticeable dip to 11,239 in 2019 before rebounding.
The increase in median income coincides with the period of increasing diversity, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population between 2013 and 2019. The slight population decrease from 2013 to 2019 coincided with a decrease in the white population percentage and an increase in the Hispanic population. The subsequent population rebound from 2020 to 2022 aligns with a reversal of this trend, seeing an increase in the white population percentage and a decrease in the Hispanic population.
These trends generally align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States: increasing diversity in traditionally white-majority suburbs, gradual income growth in line with national trends, and fluctuations in suburban populations as demographics shift.
The persistence of a white majority alongside increasing diversity suggests that Beverly is experiencing gradual demographic changes while maintaining its established community structure. The economic growth, as evidenced by rising median incomes, may be attracting a more diverse population to the area. However, the recent reversal in some diversity trends could indicate changing local economic or social factors.
This analysis provides a snapshot of a community in transition, balancing established demographic patterns with emerging diversity and economic growth. Further research into local policies, housing markets, and employment opportunities could offer deeper insights into the forces driving these changes.
