The zip code 15433 in Hiller, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The white population comprises 97% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The area has a population of 936 and a median income of $47,005, which has decreased from the previous year.
Over the past decade, Hiller has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained the dominant racial group, ranging from 64% to 98% throughout the years. From 2013 to 2016, the white population decreased slightly from 68% to 64%. A significant shift occurred between 2019 and 2020, with the white population increasing from 73% to 97%. Since 2020, the community has remained predominantly white, with minimal representation from other racial groups.
The median income in Hiller has shown considerable volatility over the years. From 2013 to 2016, as the white population slightly decreased, median income rose from $54,175 to $71,012. The sharp increase in white population percentage between 2019 and 2020 coincided with a significant rise in median income from $43,748 to $66,155. However, the most recent data shows a substantial drop in median income to $47,005 in 2022, despite maintaining a high white population percentage.
Population trends have also been variable. The population grew from 1,127 in 2013 to 1,325 in 2019, coinciding with the period of slightly increasing diversity. A sharp decline occurred between 2019 and 2020, dropping from 1,325 to 946, aligning with the increase in white population percentage. Since 2020, the population has remained relatively stable around 950.
The persistent "Low Diversity" classification of Hiller contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. The recent sharp decline in median income (2021 to 2022) may reflect broader economic challenges. The stability of the population since 2020, despite economic fluctuations, suggests a relatively settled community with limited in-migration or out-migration.
In conclusion, Hiller has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community throughout the decade, but has experienced significant economic volatility. The relationship between its demographic composition and economic indicators is complex, with periods of increased diversity correlating with economic growth, and recent reinforcement of low diversity coinciding with economic challenges. These trends suggest that while racial composition remains relatively stable, the community is not immune to broader economic forces affecting quality of life and financial stability.
