The zip code 10065 in Manhattan, New York City, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The white population comprises 73% of the total, indicating a clear racial majority. The area is characterized by high median incomes, with the most recent figure at $156,495 in 2022, significantly above national averages. This affluent, predominantly white neighborhood has experienced subtle demographic shifts over the past decade.
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area, but with a gradual trend towards increased diversity. In 2013, the white population constituted 82% of the total. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to 73%, indicating a slow but steady diversification. The most significant change has been the growth of the Asian population, which increased from 8% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. The Hispanic population also saw growth, rising from 4% to 8% during the same period.
The black population remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 1% to 3%. The emergence of a small but growing "two or more races" category (from 1% to 2%) further indicates a trend towards increased diversity. These shifts suggest a transition towards what could be termed "Moderate Diversity" if the trend continues, though it has not yet reached that threshold.
The gradual increase in diversity has occurred alongside fluctuations in median income. The median income peaked in 2021 at $167,495 before dropping to $156,495 in 2022. Despite this recent decrease, the overall trend shows a slight increase from $157,962 in 2013 to $156,495 in 2022, maintaining the area's status as a high-income neighborhood.
The population has remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations. It decreased from 31,307 in 2013 to a low of 26,923 in 2018, before rebounding to 29,275 in 2022. This suggests that while there have been demographic shifts, they haven't resulted in significant population changes.
The demographic shifts observed in this zip code align with broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States. The increase in Asian and Hispanic populations reflects national patterns of growing diversity in metropolitan areas. However, the persistence of a strong white majority and high median incomes sets this neighborhood apart from many other diversifying urban areas.
The stability of high incomes despite increasing diversity suggests that the area remains highly desirable and expensive, potentially limiting the pace of diversification. This contrasts with some urban areas where rapid diversification has been accompanied by significant changes in neighborhood character or socioeconomic status.
Zip code 10065 in Manhattan is showing signs of a "Transitional Community" with slow but steady diversification. It remains a predominantly white, extremely affluent area. The gradual nature of these changes, coupled with persistently high incomes, suggests that any transition towards greater diversity is likely to continue at a measured pace.
