The zip code 12134 in Northville, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 92% white, with a median income of $54,875, which is lower than the previous year. This rural zip code encompasses 226.24 square miles and has a population of 4,664 as of 2022.
Over the past decade, Northville has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. However, subtle demographic shifts have occurred. The white population decreased from 98% in 2013 to 92% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The category of two or more races grew from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. These changes suggest a slow transition towards increased diversity.
The median income in the area has fluctuated. It was $53,326 in 2013, peaked at $59,432 in 2021, and decreased to $54,875 in 2022. There is no clear correlation between the slight increase in diversity and changes in median income. The population grew modestly from 4,182 in 2013 to 4,664 in 2022, with a temporary spike to 5,185 in 2021.
The trends in Northville contrast with many national trends. The slow pace of change suggests it may be a more isolated, rural community less affected by broader demographic shifts. The fluctuations in median income, particularly the recent decrease, might reflect challenges faced by rural communities in maintaining economic growth and attracting diverse populations.
Northville remains a "Low Diversity" community, but there are early indications of gradual change. The economic picture is mixed, with recent declines in both population and median income potentially signaling challenges for the community. As diversity slowly increases, it will be important to monitor how this impacts local economics and community dynamics in the coming years.
