The zip code 13780 in Guilford, New York, is classified as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is 96% white. The median income is $52,032, and the population is 968, showing a slight increase from the previous year but an overall decline over the past decade.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Guilford has maintained a "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has consistently been the majority, ranging from 93% to 97%. Other racial categories have shown minimal fluctuations, with Hispanic representation peaking at 4% in 2018 but generally remaining between 2-3%. The black population has been at or near 0% for most of the period, with a recent slight increase to 1%.
The median income in Guilford has fluctuated over the past decade. It reached a high of $59,811 in 2017, dropped to $47,356 in 2019, then rebounded to $56,053 in 2021 before decreasing to $52,032 in 2022. These income fluctuations do not appear to strongly correlate with the minimal demographic shifts observed.
The population has declined from 1,037 in 2013 to 968 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This overall population decrease might indicate outmigration, possibly due to economic factors or changing local conditions.
The persistent low diversity in Guilford contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas. The income fluctuations observed may reflect broader economic trends such as the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The population decline could be part of a larger trend of rural depopulation seen in many parts of the United States, where smaller communities often struggle to retain residents.
Guilford has maintained its status as a low diversity area with a strong white majority. Subtle shifts in demographics and more pronounced changes in economic indicators suggest a community experiencing some degree of change. The interplay between these demographic and economic factors may have implications for local community dynamics, service provision, and future development plans in the area.
