Averill Park has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority" over the past decade. The white population has remained above 95% throughout this period. There has been a minor increase in diversity, with the Hispanic population growing from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022, and the introduction of a 1% Asian population by 2022. Residents identifying as two or more races increased to 2% in 2022.
The area has consistently remained in the "Low Diversity" classification. This demographic stability suggests a well-established community with limited influx of residents from diverse backgrounds.
The median income in Averill Park has increased from $91,266 in 2013 to $92,250 in 2022, with fluctuations in between.

The population has slightly decreased from 7,446 in 2013 to 6,839 in 2022. This minor decline, coupled with income growth, may indicate an aging community or a shift towards smaller, higher-income households.

The 95% white population is significantly higher than the national average of approximately 60% in 2020. The 2022 median income of $92,250 is considerably higher than the national median household income of $70,784 in 2021.
Averill Park represents a stable, affluent, predominantly white community with minimal demographic shifts over the past decade. While slight increases in diversity have occurred, particularly among Hispanic and multiracial residents, these changes have not substantially altered the overall demographic character of the area. The economic trends suggest a community that has maintained its prosperity, potentially reinforcing existing demographic patterns.
