The zip code 12885 in Warrensburg, New York, is classified as a Low Diversity community as of 2022. The population is 92% white. The median income is $54,397, which is lower than the previous year but higher than some earlier years in the decade.
Over the past decade, Warrensburg has maintained its Low Diversity status. The white population has consistently remained above 90%. There are subtle indications of increasing diversity, progressing at a very slow rate.
From 2013 to 2015, the community was 97-98% white. In 2016, small percentages of Hispanic residents (1%) and those identifying as two or more races (1%) emerged. This trend continued with minor fluctuations until 2020, when a slight increase in diversity was observed.
The Asian population appeared at 1% in 2020, increased to 3% in 2021, and settled at 2% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased to 4% in 2020 but decreased to 2% in 2021 and 2022. The population identifying as two or more races increased to 3% by 2022. These changes suggest a slow transition towards slightly more diversity, though the community remains in the Low Diversity category.
The median income in Warrensburg has fluctuated over the decade without a clear trend. Notable points include a peak of $59,157 in 2020, a low of $52,068 in 2018, and the most recent figure of $54,397 in 2022. The slight increase in diversity from 2020 to 2022 coincided with a small decrease in median income.
The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 4,527 in 2013 to 4,497 in 2022. This stability suggests that major demographic shifts are not due to significant population changes.
Warrensburg's demographic changes occur at a much slower rate compared to national trends of increasing diversity, particularly in urban and suburban settings. The median income fluctuations don't show a clear trend of growth or decline, potentially indicating a relatively stable local economy.
In conclusion, Warrensburg shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The economic indicators suggest a stable, though not particularly growing, local economy. These trends indicate that while the community is not immune to broader demographic shifts, change is occurring at a much slower pace than in many other parts of the country.
