The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with minor fluctuations. It reached a peak of 5,273 in 2015 and has since decreased to 4,526 in 2022. This slight population decline has not negatively impacted the median income, which has continued to rise overall.
The demographic composition of West Chazy contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While many urban and suburban areas across the United States have experienced significant increases in racial and ethnic diversity over the past decade, West Chazy has maintained its predominantly white population with only minor changes.
The gradual increase in median income aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the stability of the racial composition suggests that this area may not be experiencing the same level of demographic change as many other parts of the country.
West Chazy represents a stable, predominantly white community with gradual economic improvements. While there are slight indications of increasing diversity, these changes are minimal compared to national trends. The area's ability to maintain population levels and increase median income suggests a degree of economic resilience, though it remains to be seen whether the minor demographic shifts will accelerate in the coming years, potentially leading to more significant changes in the community's composition and character.
