This zip code has remained relatively unchanged in its racial composition, while national trends have shown increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas.

The stability and affluence of this community, combined with its proximity to Pittsburgh, may be factors in its ability to maintain both its demographic makeup and economic growth. However, the emerging signs of increased diversity, albeit small, align with broader national trends towards more diverse communities, especially in suburban areas near major cities.
Economy (zip code 15005) remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." There are subtle indications of a very slow transition towards slightly increased diversity. This demographic stability, coupled with steady economic growth, indicates a prosperous, stable community that is only beginning to experience the demographic shifts seen more dramatically in other parts of the country.
