Zip code 14172 in Wilson, New York, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" area as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 92% identifying as such. This demographic composition has remained stable over the past decade, with only minor fluctuations in racial diversity. The median income for the area in 2022 was $63,947, lower than the peak of $68,261 observed in 2019.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Wilson has consistently been classified as "Low Diversity". The white population has remained above 90% for the entire decade, decreasing slightly from 98% in 2013 to 92% in 2022. This minimal shift does not qualify the area as a "Transitional Community". There have been small changes in the community's racial composition, including an increase in the multiracial population from 0% in 2013 to 6% in 2020, a slight growth in the Hispanic population from 0% to 1-2%, and a consistent Black representation of around 1%.
The median income in Wilson has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2015, it rose from $64,121 to $68,157. Between 2015 and 2019, income remained relatively stable, peaking at $68,261 in 2019. From 2019 to 2022, there was a noticeable decrease in median income, dropping to $63,947 in 2022. These economic shifts do not appear to correlate strongly with the minor demographic changes observed.
Population trends show a slight overall decrease from 3,322 in 2013 to 3,223 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This modest population decline might contribute to the recent decrease in median income, possibly reflecting broader economic challenges in the area.
The low diversity in Wilson contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The recent decline in median income might reflect broader economic challenges faced by many small communities across the country. The stability of the racial composition, despite minor shifts, suggests that Wilson may not be experiencing the rapid demographic changes seen in some other parts of the country, particularly in urban and suburban areas.
Wilson presents a picture of a relatively stable, predominantly white community with modest economic fluctuations. While there are slight trends towards increased diversity, particularly in the growth of the multiracial population, these changes have been gradual and have not significantly altered the overall demographic landscape of the area over the past decade. The community's economic trajectory, marked by recent income declines, may warrant attention from local policymakers to ensure long-term economic stability and growth.
