This small, predominantly white community has experienced significant demographic and economic fluctuations over the past decade.
Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), the area has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The white population has consistently represented over 90% of the total population, with minimal representation from other racial groups.

The median income in this zip code has shown significant volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2015, there was a dramatic increase in median income from $44,278 to $72,316. This was followed by a sharp decline to $45,048 in 2016. Since then, the median income has generally trended upward, reaching $62,807 in 2022. These economic fluctuations do not seem to correlate strongly with the subtle demographic shifts. The community has maintained its racial composition despite these income changes, suggesting that economic factors have not significantly influenced the racial makeup of the area.
Population trends have also been volatile, with the number of residents fluctuating between 466 (2020) and 741 (2021). This instability in population could be due to various factors such as job market changes, housing availability, or broader economic conditions.
While national trends have shown increasing diversity in many areas, this zip code has remained relatively stable in its racial composition. The persistent "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status of this community contrasts with many urban and suburban areas that have experienced more significant demographic shifts over the same period.
The economic volatility observed in this zip code, particularly the sharp income fluctuations, may reflect broader economic trends or local economic events.
In conclusion, while the zip code 15363 in Canonsburg has experienced notable economic fluctuations over the past decade, its racial demographic composition has remained relatively stable, maintaining its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." The slight increase in multiracial residents suggests the potential for a gradual transition towards greater diversity in the future, but this change has been slow and minimal compared to national trends towards increasing diversity.
