Over the past decade, Eggertsville has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" community to one with "Moderate Diversity." The white population decreased from 80% in 2013 to 72% in 2022, signifying a shift towards greater racial diversity. The Hispanic population increased from 1% to 5%, the Black population from 8% to 10%, and the "Two or More Races" category from 1% to 5% during this period.
These trends suggest that Eggertsville is becoming a "Transitional Community" with increasing representation from various racial groups. While it has not reached the threshold for "High Diversity," the consistent growth in minority populations indicates a trend towards greater diversity.
The median income in Eggertsville has shown overall growth, increasing from $73,580 in 2013 to $77,485 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. There was a notable increase to $84,536 in 2021, followed by a decrease in 2022. This general upward trend in income correlates with the increasing diversity, suggesting that the area has remained economically attractive to a wider range of demographic groups.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with minor fluctuations. This stability, combined with increasing diversity and rising incomes, may indicate that the area is experiencing gradual gentrification or becoming more attractive to a diverse, affluent population.
The trends observed in Eggertsville align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many U.S. suburbs have been experiencing similar transitions from predominantly white communities to more diverse neighborhoods. The steady increase in median income, despite some recent volatility, also reflects national trends of economic growth in suburban areas.
The persistence of a strong white majority (72% in 2022) suggests that this transition is occurring more slowly in Eggertsville compared to some other suburban areas across the country. The gradual nature of this change might indicate a more stable integration process, potentially avoiding some of the rapid demographic shifts that can lead to community tensions in other areas.
Eggertsville represents a community in transition, moving from low to moderate diversity while maintaining economic stability. This gradual shift towards greater racial diversity, coupled with overall income growth, suggests a community that is evolving to reflect broader demographic changes while retaining its economic appeal. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether this trend continues towards higher diversity or stabilizes at its current level of moderate diversity.
