Zip code 10577 in Harrison, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" community with a high median income as of 2022. The area exhibits a "Low Diversity" profile, with the white population comprising 67% of the total. However, there are indications of gradual diversification over the past decade.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the community has maintained its "White Majority" status, although this majority has decreased from 74% in 2013 to 67% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown a steady increase from 12% in 2013 to 15% in 2022, indicating a trend towards a more "Moderate Diversity" profile. Both Asian and multiracial populations have seen modest increases, contributing to a slowly diversifying community.
The consistent increase in Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial populations suggests that Harrison is becoming a "Transitional Community," gradually moving towards greater diversity. The median income has remained exceptionally high throughout the period, ranging from $162,890 to $198,784. However, there have been significant fluctuations. The median income peaked in 2015 at $198,784 and has since experienced a general downward trend, reaching $170,621 in 2022.
The population grew significantly from 4,476 in 2010 to a peak of 6,537 in 2017, followed by a slight decline to 6,124 in 2022. The gradual increase in diversity coincides with a slight decrease in median income, suggesting a potential relationship between demographic changes and economic patterns. The period of rapid population growth (2010-2017) aligns with the years of highest median income, indicating that the area's economic prosperity may have attracted new residents. Both population and income have shown signs of stabilization in recent years, possibly reflecting a maturing community dynamic.
Harrison's demographic and economic profile is notable. The median income in Harrison significantly exceeds national averages, placing it among the wealthiest communities in the United States. The gradual increase in diversity, while noticeable, appears to be occurring at a slower rate compared to national trends, where many communities are experiencing more rapid demographic shifts. The combination of high income, predominantly white population, and proximity to New York City suggests that Harrison likely functions as an affluent suburban enclave.
While Harrison remains a "White Majority" and "Low Diversity" community with exceptionally high incomes, it shows signs of gradual transition. The slow but steady increase in minority populations, particularly Hispanic and Asian, coupled with slight declines in median income, suggest a community in the early stages of demographic and economic transition. These changes, while modest, may have implications for local services, housing markets, and community dynamics in the coming years.
