Zip code 10533 in Irvington, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" area with a high median income as of 2022. The community exhibits moderate diversity, with a white population of 72%, Hispanic population of 12%, and Asian population of 8%. The median income in 2022 was $154,900, indicating an affluent community significantly above the national average.
Over the past decade, Irvington has maintained its "White Majority" status, but with subtle shifts in racial composition. The white population decreased from 79% in 2017 to 72% in 2022. The Hispanic population fluctuated between 7-12%, with a notable increase from 7% in 2021 to 12% in 2022. The Asian population remained relatively stable at 7-9%. Multi-racial representation increased from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. These changes suggest a slow transition towards greater diversity.
The median income in Irvington has fluctuated over the past decade. It increased from $145,852 in 2013 to $174,534 in 2021, representing a growth of about 20%. However, 2022 saw a decrease to $154,900. The population grew steadily from 7,589 in 2013 to 7,952 in 2022, a modest increase of about 4.8% over the decade.
The consistently high median income aligns with the area's status as a predominantly white, affluent suburb. The gradual increase in diversity has not significantly impacted the overall high income levels, suggesting that incoming minorities are likely of similar socioeconomic status. The slight decrease in the white population percentage coincides with a small dip in median income in 2022, which could indicate changing economic dynamics as the community diversifies.
Irvington's median income is significantly higher than the national average, placing it among the more affluent communities in the country. The gradual increase in diversity aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The high Asian population percentage (8%) compared to the national average (about 6%) suggests that Irvington may be attractive to high-income Asian professionals.
In conclusion, Irvington remains a "White Majority" area with high income levels, but shows signs of becoming a "Transitional Community" with slow but steady increases in diversity. The economic implications of these demographic shifts appear minimal so far, with the area maintaining its status as an affluent community. The recent dip in median income and increase in Hispanic population in 2022 may be worth monitoring for potential future trends in both demographics and economics.
