The zip code 13673 in Philadelphia, New York, is categorized as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The area is predominantly white, with 86% of the population identifying as such. The current median income is $54,987, showing a slight increase from previous years. This rural community has a population density of approximately 56 people per square mile and has experienced subtle demographic shifts over the past decade.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the community has consistently maintained its Low Diversity status, with the white population comprising over 75% of the total. The white population percentage has slightly decreased from 90% in 2013 to 86% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Black population, from 3% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable at around 3-4%. The most significant change has been in the "Two or More Races" category, increasing from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022.
The median income in the area has fluctuated over the years. It peaked in 2020 at $55,963, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a significant dip to $44,013 in 2018, the lowest point in the available data. The 2022 figure of $54,987 represents a recovery and slight overall increase from the 2013 level of $50,969. These economic fluctuations do not seem to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Population trends show a slight decline from 2,315 in 2013 to 2,045 in 2022. This decrease could be attributed to various factors such as outmigration, aging population, or changes in local economic opportunities.
The slow increase in the "Two or More Races" category aligns with national trends of growing multiracial populations. The median household income in the United States was $69,021 in 2022, indicating that this zip code's median income ($54,987) is below the national average. This difference could be attributed to the rural nature of the area and potentially limited economic opportunities compared to more urban or suburban regions.
The slight population decline in this zip code contrasts with the overall population growth experienced by many parts of the United States, particularly in urban and suburban areas. This trend is not uncommon in rural communities, which often face challenges in retaining younger populations and attracting new residents.
While the zip code 13673 has maintained its status as a Low Diversity area over the past decade, subtle shifts in racial composition and economic indicators suggest the potential for gradual change. The community appears to be in the early stages of a transition towards increased diversity, albeit at a much slower pace than many other parts of the country. Economic fluctuations and a slight population decline present both challenges and opportunities for this rural New York community as it moves forward.
