The economic landscape of Tannersville has exhibited significant volatility over the past decade. The median income fluctuated considerably, with a high of $54,681 in 2015, a low of $31,861 in 2019, and a sharp increase to $61,580 in 2021, followed by a significant drop to $35,563 in 2022. These economic fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with the stable racial demographics.
The population has also shown variability, ranging from 492 in 2017 to 765 in 2022. The recent population growth, particularly from 536 in 2020 to 762 in 2021, is noteworthy and may indicate changing economic opportunities or living preferences in the area.
The persistent "Low Diversity" status of Tannersville contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The economic volatility observed, particularly the sharp income fluctuations, may reflect local economic factors such as changes in key industries or employment opportunities. The recent population growth, especially during 2020-2022, may align with national trends of people moving from urban to more rural or suburban areas during this period.
Tannersville presents a picture of demographic stability amid economic volatility. While maintaining its "Low Diversity" status, the area has experienced significant fluctuations in income and population. These trends suggest that local economic factors, rather than demographic changes, have been the primary drivers of change in this zip code over the past decade.
