The persistent "White Majority" and "Low Diversity" categorization of this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The median income in this zip code ($118,736 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth in the black population percentage, aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial diversity in suburban areas.
Zip code 08804 in Bloomsbury remains a predominantly white, affluent area with low diversity. There are subtle signs of demographic shifts. These changes, though small, could potentially indicate the beginning of a slow transition towards greater diversity. The economic fluctuations, particularly the sharp rise and fall in median income between 2020 and 2022, appear to be influenced more by broader economic factors than by local demographic changes.
