Zip code 15840 in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community as of 2022. The population is 96% white, which meets the criteria for a racial group dominating with over 75% representation. The median income for this area in 2022 was $46,966.
From 2013 to 2022, Falls Creek has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has consistently remained above 95% during this period, with minimal representation from other racial groups. No significant transitions between diversity categories have occurred over the past decade.
Minor demographic shifts have been observed. The white population percentage increased from 97% in 2013 to 99% in 2020, before decreasing to 96% in 2022. A small increase in diversity occurred from 2020 to 2022, with the introduction of a 1% black population and an increase in the two or more races category from 1% to 2%.
The median income in Falls Creek has fluctuated over the years. From 2013 to 2018, there was an increase from $40,670 to $52,107. However, from 2018 to 2022, the trend reversed, with median income decreasing to $46,966. This economic trend does not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Population trends show a general decline from 1,689 in 2010 to 1,502 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. This overall population decrease may be contributing to the economic challenges reflected in the recent decline in median income.
Falls Creek appears to be maintaining its homogeneous racial composition, in contrast to broader patterns of increasing diversity seen in many urban and suburban areas across the United States. The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent decline in median income, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by small towns in Pennsylvania and other parts of the Rust Belt.
In conclusion, Falls Creek remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong white majority. Subtle demographic shifts and economic fluctuations suggest that the community may be experiencing some changes. However, these changes are currently too minor to significantly alter the overall demographic and economic character of the area.
