Gasport has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the white population remained above 90%, with only slight fluctuations. There are subtle signs of increasing diversity, with the Black population increasing from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022, and the Hispanic population fluctuating between 0% and 4%, settling at 1% in 2022. The Native American population, while small, showed presence in some years.
The median income in Gasport has shown an upward trend. In 2013, it was $58,379, increasing to $61,535 in 2017, $73,258 in 2020, and $74,194 in 2022. This represents an increase of about 27% over a decade. The sharpest increase occurred between 2019 and 2020, from $70,057 to $73,258.
The gradual increase in median income has occurred alongside the subtle diversification of the population. However, given the minimal changes in racial composition, it is difficult to attribute the income growth directly to demographic shifts. The economic improvement seems more likely tied to broader economic factors affecting the region or state.
The population has fluctuated over the decade. In 2013, it was 4,986, increasing to 5,315 in 2017 and 5,461 in 2020, followed by a decline to 4,971 in 2022. This recent population decrease might be attributed to various factors, including economic impacts or changes in local industries.
The area's persistent "Low Diversity" status contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many communities. The median income growth outpaces the national average, suggesting a relatively strong local economy. The recent population decline might be part of a broader trend of migration from rural or small-town areas to urban centers, a pattern seen in many parts of the country.
Gasport has seen economic improvements over the past decade, while its demographic composition has remained largely stable. The area continues to be characterized by low diversity and a strong white majority, with only minor shifts towards increased representation of other racial groups. The economic growth, particularly in median income, suggests a relatively prosperous community, though the recent population decline may indicate emerging challenges or changing dynamics.
