Zip code 13656 in Depauville, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The population is 91% white, with a median income of $63,586. This rural area covers 81.92 square miles and has a population of 3,251.
From 2013 to 2022, the white population in Depauville decreased from 98% to 91%. By 2022, small representations of Black (3%), Hispanic (2%), and multiracial (3%) populations emerged. The increase in the "two or more races" category from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022 suggests a potential for Depauville to be considered a "Transitional Community" at a slow pace.
The median income in Depauville increased from $60,183 in 2013 to $63,586 in 2022, representing a 5.7% growth over nine years. The area experienced a peak median income of $72,483 in 2018, followed by a significant drop to $61,321 in 2019. Since 2019, there has been a gradual increase in median income.
The subtle increase in diversity coincides with fluctuations in median income. The period of highest income (2016-2018) aligns with a slight increase in Hispanic population. The subsequent income decline did not significantly reverse the diversity trend. Population trends show minor fluctuations, with the 2022 population (3,251) being slightly higher than in 2013 (3,084).
Depauville's demographic trends differ from broader national patterns. The slow pace of change suggests it may be somewhat insulated from larger demographic shifts, possibly due to its rural nature and relatively small population. The modest income growth in Depauville (5.7% over nine years) is lower than the national average, which saw median household income increase by about 10% between 2013 and 2022 (adjusted for inflation).
Depauville remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but shows early signs of gradual demographic change. The economic fluctuations and modest growth over the past decade have not dramatically altered the community's composition but may have contributed to the subtle increase in diversity. As this trend continues, the area may eventually transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming decades, potentially bringing new economic and cultural dynamics to this rural New York community.
