The zip code 14098 in Lyndonville, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 3,030 and a median income of $60,721. This rural community has maintained a predominantly white population over the past decade, with minimal representation from other racial groups.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, Lyndonville has consistently fallen under the "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" categories. The white population has remained above 89% throughout this period, though there has been a slight decrease from 95% in 2013 to 89% in 2022. This minimal shift suggests the beginnings of a very slow transition towards slightly increased diversity, but not enough to change the overall categorization of the community.
There has been a small but noticeable increase in the Hispanic population (from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022) and the Black population (from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022). The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has also increased from 0% to 2% over this period. These changes indicate a gradual diversification of the community.
The median income in Lyndonville has shown a general upward trend, increasing from $53,131 in 2013 to $60,721 in 2022, representing a growth of about 14.3% over nine years. This growth in median income has occurred alongside the slight increase in diversity. The population has remained relatively stable over this period, fluctuating between approximately 2,900 and 3,100 residents.
The demographic makeup of Lyndonville contrasts with many national trends towards increased diversity. While the U.S. as a whole has been experiencing a shift towards becoming a "Majority-Minority" nation, Lyndonville remains overwhelmingly white. The slight increase in diversity in Lyndonville, while minimal, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in rural areas, albeit at a much slower pace.
The economic growth seen in the area, with rising median incomes, is consistent with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the rate of income growth in Lyndonville (14.3% over nine years) is relatively modest compared to national averages.
Lyndonville shows signs of very gradual diversification and steady economic growth, but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community. The slow pace of demographic change suggests that significant shifts in the racial makeup of the community are unlikely in the near future, barring any major economic or social changes that could accelerate the diversification process.
