The zip code 13697 in Winthrop, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. Data indicates that 93% of the population identifies as white, with limited representation from other racial groups. The median income for 2022 was $48,054, and the population was 2,522.
Winthrop has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" over the past decade. There are indications of a slow transition towards slightly increased diversity. The white population has decreased from 99% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The category of two or more races has increased from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. Despite these changes, the community remains in the "Low Diversity" category, as no single minority group has reached a significant representation level to alter the overall classification.
The median income in Winthrop has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2016, there was a steady increase from $56,638 to $68,793. A sharp decline occurred from 2017 to 2020, with median income dropping to $42,492 in 2017 and slowly recovering to $48,221 by 2020. An anomalous spike to $69,121 occurred in 2021, followed by a return to $48,054 in 2022, aligning with the pre-2021 trend.
The economic fluctuations do not appear to correlate strongly with the subtle demographic shifts. The community has maintained its low diversity despite periods of both economic growth and decline. Population trends have remained relatively stable, with modest fluctuations between 2,374 (2011) and 2,583 (2021) residents. This stability suggests that economic changes have not significantly impacted overall population levels.
Winthrop appears to be maintaining its traditional demographic composition while national trends have shown increasing diversity in many areas, particularly in urban and suburban settings. The slight increase in Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races aligns with broader national trends, but at a much slower pace. The economic volatility experienced in Winthrop, particularly the sharp decline in 2017, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by rural communities in New York State.
Winthrop shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The economic fluctuations over the past decade have not significantly altered this demographic landscape, suggesting a community that is changing slowly, if at all, in response to broader national demographic trends.
