The zip code 14530 in Perry, New York, is categorized as having "Low Diversity" as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, with 86% of residents identifying as such. The current median income is $59,227, showing a slight decrease from the previous year but an overall upward trend over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Perry has maintained a "Low Diversity" categorization. The white population has decreased from 96% in 2013 to 86% in 2022. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. Black and Hispanic populations have both increased from about 1% each in 2013 to 3% each in 2022. These changes suggest Perry may be slowly transitioning towards greater diversity.
The median income in Perry has shown an overall positive trend, increasing from $52,528 in 2013 to $59,227 in 2022, representing a 12.8% increase over the decade. The median income peaked at $64,348 in 2021 before declining slightly in 2022. The population remained relatively stable from 2013 to 2020, declining slightly from 4,844 to 4,621, but then saw a significant increase to 5,867 in 2022.
The gradual increase in income coincides with the slow diversification of the community. This could suggest that the influx of new residents is contributing to both the income growth and increased diversity.
Perry's demographic shifts align with broader trends of increasing diversity in rural and small-town America. The 12.8% income growth over the decade is positive but may be lower than national averages. The sudden population increase in 2021-2022 is notable and may be related to broader post-pandemic migration patterns seen in some rural areas.
Perry is experiencing a slow but steady diversification while maintaining overall economic growth. The community remains predominantly white but shows signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising incomes suggests that this demographic shift may be contributing positively to the local economy. The recent population surge and income fluctuation in 2021-2022 warrant further monitoring to understand their long-term impacts on the community's demographic and economic landscape.
