Zip code 12130, representing Niverville in New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 426 people and a median income of $80,523, which exceeds the national average.
From 2013 to 2022, Niverville consistently maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority". The white population remained above 75% throughout this period, ranging from 96% in 2014-2015 to 89% in 2021. Signs of a "Transitional Community" are emerging, with the Hispanic population gradually increasing from 3% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, peaking at 9% in 2021. This trend indicates a slow but steady diversification of the community, though still within the "Low Diversity" category.
Other racial groups have minimal representation, with Black residents consistently at 1-2% when data is available, and individuals of two or more races appearing in the data from 2017 onwards at 1-2%.
The median income in Niverville fluctuated over the years without a clear trend. It peaked at $97,678 in 2021 but generally remained around $80,000-$88,000 for most of the decade. The highest median income coincided with the lowest percentage of white residents and the highest percentage of Hispanic residents in 2021. The population showed a general declining trend from 450 in 2013 to 426 in 2022, with fluctuations and a low point of 350 residents in 2019.
Niverville has maintained its predominantly white demographic composition, contrasting with national trends of increasing diversity. The gradual increase in the Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the United States. The median income in Niverville has consistently been above the national median household income, indicating a relatively affluent community. This economic stability may contribute to the slow pace of demographic change.
The slight population decline in Niverville contrasts with the general trend of population growth in many suburban and small urban areas, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. This suggests that Niverville may face challenges in attracting or retaining residents, despite its relatively high median income.
In conclusion, Niverville remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", but shows early indications of a slow transition towards greater diversity, primarily driven by growth in the Hispanic population. The community's economic stability, evidenced by its above-average median income, may influence the pace of this demographic evolution. Future years will reveal whether this trend continues and potentially accelerates, moving the community towards a more diverse demographic composition.
