Zip code 11547 in Glenwood Landing, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" area with a median income of $108,779 as of 2022. The community exhibits characteristics of a "Transitional Community" with increasing racial diversity over the past decade, although overall diversity remains relatively low.
From 2013 to 2022, Glenwood Landing has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area. The white population decreased from 87% in 2013 to 80% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 6% to 10% during this period. The Hispanic population grew from 1% to 9%. This trend indicates a gradual transition towards greater diversity, although the area has not changed categories in the classification system.
The median income in Glenwood Landing has fluctuated over the years. It reached a peak of $158,222 in 2017. A significant drop to $107,199 occurred in 2020, possibly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2022, it has slightly recovered to $108,779. The increase in diversity coincides with a period of overall decline in median income from its peak. This may suggest that the area is becoming more accessible to a diverse range of residents, possibly due to changing housing costs or economic conditions.
Population trends show a general increase from 908 in 2013 to 954 in 2022, with some fluctuations. The peak population of 994 was recorded in 2020, coinciding with the lowest median income point.
The median income in Glenwood Landing remains significantly higher than the national average, even after recent declines. The increase in diversity, particularly in Asian and Hispanic populations, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The community's transition is happening at a slower pace compared to national averages, which might be due to its high-income status and relatively small size (population under 1,000).
Glenwood Landing is experiencing a gradual demographic shift towards greater diversity while maintaining its status as a high-income, predominantly white area. The economic fluctuations and increasing diversity suggest a community in transition, potentially opening up to a broader range of residents while still retaining much of its historical character. These changes may bring both opportunities and challenges as the community adapts to its evolving demographic makeup.
