The zip code 12748 in Jeffersonville, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The white population comprises 86% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for low diversity classification. The median income for 2022 is $60,860, and the population is 1,402.
Over the past decade, Jeffersonville has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area. However, subtle shifts indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity. The white population percentage has decreased from 93% in 2013 to 86% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown the most notable change, increasing from 3% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, with a peak of 12% in 2020. Other racial groups have shown minor fluctuations, with the Asian population peaking at 2% in 2015-2018 but declining to 0% by 2022.
The median income has fluctuated over the years. It rose from $60,665 in 2013 to a peak of $73,495 in 2018, an increase of about 21%. Since then, it has declined, settling at $60,860 in 2022, almost back to the 2013 level. Population figures have also fluctuated, from a low of 1,392 in 2016 to a high of 1,883 in 2014, settling at 1,402 in 2022.
The area's slow diversification aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many communities, although at a much slower pace than many urban areas. The median income, while fluctuating, has remained relatively stable over the decade. This differs from national trends that have generally seen rising income inequality and stagnant middle-class incomes. The predominance of a white majority is more typical of rural or small-town America than urban centers, which have typically seen faster diversification.
In conclusion, Jeffersonville remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority". There are slow but noticeable trends towards increased diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population. These demographic shifts have not yet significantly impacted the area's economic profile, which has seen both ups and downs over the past decade. If current trends continue, the area may eventually transition to a more diverse community, potentially bringing both challenges and opportunities for local development and community dynamics.
