Zip code 15135 in Greenock, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022.

This demographic profile has evolved over the past decade.
Over the past ten years, Greenock has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has experienced a gradual decline from 98% in 2013 to 91% in 2022, indicating a slow trend towards increased diversity. The area has seen small but increasing representations of Asian, Black, and multiracial populations. The Asian population grew to 2% by 2022, while the Black population increased to 3%. The "Two or More Races" category reached 4% in 2022, up from 0% in earlier years. These changes suggest that Greenock is showing signs of becoming a "Transitional Community."
The economic landscape of Greenock has shown fluctuations over the decade. The median income has experienced significant variations, dropping from $61,553 in 2013 to a low of $52,983 in 2016, before rebounding and reaching a peak of $73,881 in 2021. In recent years, the median income has stabilized around $70,000, indicating a period of economic consistency. Notably, the periods of increasing diversity (particularly from 2018 onwards) coincide with a general upward trend in median income.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 3,900 to 4,100 residents over the decade. The slight decrease from 4,101 in 2010 to 3,896 in 2022 is not significant enough to indicate a major demographic shift but might reflect subtle changes in local economic or social factors.
The gradual increase in diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The area's median income, which has remained above national averages in recent years, suggests a relatively stable economic environment compared to many similar-sized communities nationwide. The rate of diversification in Greenock appears slower than national averages, which have shown more rapid increases in minority populations in many areas.
Greenock remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but shows early signs of transitioning towards greater racial diversity. This shift, coupled with generally positive economic indicators, suggests a community in the early stages of demographic change, potentially driven by broader regional economic factors and national demographic trends.
