Zip code 11560 in Lattingtown, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The community has a population of 7,443 and a median income of $156,262, indicating an affluent suburban area.
Over the past decade, Lattingtown has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area, but there are indications of a gradual transition towards increased diversity. The White population decreased from 88% in 2013 to 77% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 7% to 15%, and the Asian population grew from 2% to 5%. The category of two or more races emerged, growing from 0% to 2% over the decade.
The median income has shown substantial growth, rising from $129,455 in 2013 to $156,262 in 2022, an increase of about 20.7%. This growth in income has coincided with the gradual diversification of the community. The population has also grown from 6,813 in 2013 to 7,443 in 2022, an increase of about 9.2%.
The median income of $156,262 is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This places Lattingtown among the most affluent communities in the United States. The gradual increase in diversity, particularly with growth in Hispanic and Asian populations, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas, especially affluent suburbs. The maintenance of high income levels alongside increasing diversity challenges some national patterns where increased diversity has sometimes correlated with income changes.
Lattingtown represents a highly affluent, predominantly White community that is experiencing a gradual transition towards greater diversity. This transition is occurring without compromising the area's economic status, suggesting a unique pattern of affluent diversification. If current trends continue, the community may evolve from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years, while maintaining its status as an exceptionally high-income area.
