The zip code 15632 in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition of the community is predominantly white (88%), with minor representations from other racial groups. The median income in 2022 was $96,459, indicating an affluent suburban area.
Over the past decade, Murrysville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." However, subtle signs of increasing diversity are evident. The white population decreased from 94% in 2013 to 88% in 2022, showing a slow but steady decline. The Asian population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3-5% throughout the decade. Black and Hispanic populations showed slight increases, from nearly 0% in 2013 to 2% each in 2022. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.
The median income has shown a significant upward trend, increasing from $79,544 in 2013 to $96,459 in 2022, with a peak of $104,960 in 2021. This represents a 21.3% increase from 2013 to 2022, outpacing inflation and indicating growing prosperity in the area. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising incomes suggests that the area may be attracting more diverse, high-income professionals.
Population trends have been relatively stable, fluctuating between about 9,500 and 10,300 residents over the decade. This stability, combined with rising incomes, may indicate a desirable living environment with limited new housing development.
Murrysville's pace of diversification is slower than many suburban areas nationwide. The high median income and predominantly white population suggest it may be a more exclusive suburb, possibly with barriers to entry for more diverse populations such as high housing costs.
The income growth in Murrysville outpaces the national average, which saw about a 13% increase in median household income from 2013 to 2022. This suggests that Murrysville is becoming increasingly affluent relative to the nation as a whole.
The subtle increases in diversity, particularly in Asian, Black, and multiracial populations, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, Murrysville's changes are more modest compared to rapidly diversifying suburbs in many metropolitan areas.
While Murrysville remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," there are early indications of a gradual shift towards greater diversity. This trend, coupled with significant income growth, suggests a community in the early stages of transition, potentially becoming more attractive to a wider range of high-income professionals from diverse backgrounds. However, the pace of change remains slow, and it may take several more decades for Murrysville to approach the diversity levels seen in more rapidly changing suburban areas across the United States.
