The zip code 13778 in Greene, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 94% white, with a median income of $58,561 and a total population of 5,300. This area has maintained its low diversity status from 2013 to 2022.
The demographic composition has shown minimal changes over the analyzed period. The white population has consistently remained above 90%. Minor increases in diversity include a rise in the Hispanic population from 1% to 3%, an increase in individuals of two or more races from 1% to 2%, and the emergence of a 1% Asian population in 2021 and 2022.
The median income in Greene has increased from $52,278 in 2013 to $58,561 in 2022, representing an 11.8% growth. This trend indicates a modest improvement in economic conditions, despite some fluctuations including a peak of $60,593 in 2021 followed by a slight decrease in 2022.
The population of Greene has experienced a slight overall decline, decreasing from 5,650 in 2013 to 5,300 in 2022, a 6.2% reduction. This trend may suggest outmigration, possibly due to economic factors.
The persistent low diversity status of Greene contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The modest income growth of 11.8% over a decade is likely below the national average. The slight population decline differs from growth trends observed in many suburban and rural areas, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic.
In summary, Greene has maintained its demographic composition as a predominantly white, low-diversity community over the past decade. There are subtle indications of increasing diversity and economic growth, albeit at a slower pace compared to national trends. The community faces challenges such as a declining population, which may impact local economic development and community services. The gradual increase in diversity and moderate economic growth suggest that Greene is experiencing slow change while retaining its core demographic characteristics.
