The zip code 15330 in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, is characterized as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition shows 95% of the population identifying as white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The median income for 2022 was $84,613.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the area has consistently maintained its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population has remained above 95% for most years, with only minor fluctuations. There hasn't been a significant transition between diversity categories, suggesting a stable racial composition.
Subtle signs of increasing diversity include: the Hispanic population growing from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, the "Two or More Races" category maintaining a small but consistent presence (1-2%) since 2014, and other racial groups (Asian, Black, Native American) having very minimal representation, often below measurable levels. These changes could indicate the early stages of a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income has shown overall growth from $77,549 in 2013 to $84,613 in 2022, an increase of about 9% over a decade. This growth hasn't been linear, with peak median income observed in 2019 at $93,960, a noticeable drop in 2020 to $82,257, possibly due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a subsequent recovery that hasn't returned to the 2019 peak.
The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 5,600 and 6,300 residents. The slight increase in diversity (particularly Hispanic representation) doesn't appear to have significantly impacted median income trends.
The area's racial composition is significantly less diverse than the national average, with the U.S. Census Bureau reporting the white population at about 75.8% nationally in 2022, compared to 95% in this zip code. The median household income for this zip code ($84,613 in 2022) is notably higher than the national median, which was around $70,784 in 2021. The slow pace of diversification in this area contrasts with broader national trends, where many communities are experiencing more rapid demographic shifts.
In conclusion, zip code 15330 remains a predominantly white, affluent area with low diversity, showing subtle signs of demographic change. The community appears economically resilient, maintaining above-average income levels despite recent fluctuations. The pace of diversification is slow compared to national trends, suggesting that significant demographic shifts may take considerably longer to manifest in this area, if at all.
