The zip code 12443 (Hurley, New York) is classified as an area with low diversity as of 2022, with a white majority comprising 82% of the population. The median income in 2022 was $94,110, indicating an upper-middle-class community. This area has maintained a low diversity classification from 2013 to 2022, with the white population consistently above 80% for most years.
A gradual trend towards increased diversity is evident. The white population decreased from 94% in 2013 to 82% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 4% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. The proportion of individuals identifying as two or more races increased from 0% to 4%. These changes suggest the area is slowly becoming a transitional community.
The median income has shown growth, increasing from $87,023 in 2013 to $94,110 in 2022, with a peak of $107,755 in 2021. The population has fluctuated, notably increasing from 3,153 in 2019 to 3,584 in 2020, before settling at 3,332 in 2022.
The gradual increase in diversity coincides with overall income growth, suggesting that the area's economic prosperity may be attracting a more diverse population. The significant increase in the Hispanic population correlates with the rise in median income, potentially indicating successful economic integration of this growing demographic. The population spike in 2020-2021 coincides with a more noticeable increase in diversity, suggesting that new residents may be contributing to the area's gradual diversification.
This zip code's trends align with broader national patterns of suburban diversification. Many traditionally homogeneous suburban areas across the U.S. have experienced similar gradual increases in diversity, particularly with growing Hispanic populations. The area's median income is significantly higher than the national median, indicating that this is a relatively affluent community. The income growth also outpaces national averages, suggesting strong local economic conditions.
Hurley (12443) remains a predominantly white, upper-middle-class area, but shows signs of gradual diversification and continued economic growth. These trends suggest a slowly evolving community that maintains its economic strength while becoming incrementally more diverse, particularly through growth in its Hispanic population. The community appears to be in the early stages of a transition that could lead to increased diversity in the coming years if current trends continue.
