Zip code 08098 in Auburn, New Jersey, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 84% white, with a median income of $98,062. This classification has remained consistent from 2013 to 2022.
Demographic trends show subtle shifts within this classification. The white population has fluctuated between 84% and 88% over the decade. The Hispanic population increased from 4% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The black population decreased from 10% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. Asian and Two or More Races categories remained stable at 0-2% throughout the decade.
Economic trends indicate significant fluctuations in median income. From 2013 to 2017, there was a general downward trend from $94,649 to $80,985. From 2018 to 2022, the trend reversed, with median income rising from $85,087 to $98,062, peaking at $108,505 in 2021.
Population trends have been relatively stable, with slight fluctuations between 9,129 (2010) and 9,567 (2022). This stability suggests that economic changes are more likely due to broader economic factors rather than significant population changes.
The persistent "White Majority" and "Low Diversity" classification of Auburn contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends. The high and increasing median income ($98,062 in 2022) is notably above the national median household income of approximately $70,784 in 2021.
In conclusion, Auburn remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area. Subtle demographic shifts and significant income fluctuations over the past decade suggest ongoing socio-economic changes. The increasing Hispanic population and rising median income in recent years may indicate early stages of transition towards greater diversity and economic growth, albeit at a slower pace than many other areas in the country.
