Zip code 14738 in Frewsburg, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 96% white, with a median income of $58,389. The area is rural, with 3,237 people residing across 68.22 square miles.
Over the past decade, Frewsburg has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has remained the majority, ranging from 96-98% throughout the period. Minor increases in diversity have been observed, with the Hispanic population growing from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022, and the emergence of a "Two or More Races" category, also reaching 2% by 2022. The white population decreased slightly from 98% in 2013 to 96% in 2022.
The median income in Frewsburg has increased from $47,439 in 2013 to $58,389 in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 23%. A notable decrease occurred in 2017, with the median income dropping to $45,015, followed by a recovery and continued growth. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $59,413.
The population of Frewsburg has experienced a slight decline, decreasing from 3,635 in 2013 to 3,237 in 2022, a reduction of about 11%. This decline occurred despite the minor increase in diversity, suggesting that factors other than racial demographics are influencing population changes.
The slow pace of diversification in Frewsburg contrasts with more rapid changes seen in many parts of the country, particularly in urban and suburban settings. The economic growth observed in the area aligns with national trends of recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the area's median income, while growing, remains below that of many suburban and urban areas in New York State.
The slight population decline may reflect broader trends of rural population loss seen in many parts of the United States, as younger generations often move to urban areas for education and employment opportunities. In conclusion, Frewsburg shows signs of very gradual diversification and overall economic improvement, but remains a predominantly white, low-diversity community with a stable, albeit slightly declining, population.
