Zip code 16022 in Bruin, Pennsylvania, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority as of 2022. The area has 83 residents and a median income of $66,542. The racial composition data shows 96% of the population identifying as white.
From 2013 to 2022, Bruin has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. The white population has remained above 95% throughout this period, with minimal representation from other racial groups. In 2021 and 2022, 1% of the population was categorized as "Other," and in 2022, an additional 1% was classified as "Two or More Races." These minor shifts suggest a possible trend towards slightly increased diversity, though the community remains predominantly white.
The median income in Bruin has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2015, there was a decline from $53,809 to $49,992. From 2015 to 2021, there was a general upward trend, with the median income reaching $75,647 in 2021. In 2022, there was a drop to $66,542, though this figure is still higher than most previous years. These economic shifts do not appear to correlate strongly with the minimal demographic changes observed.
Population trends have been relatively stable, ranging from 80 to 93 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the consistent racial makeup, suggests a homogeneous community that has experienced little influx or outflux of residents.
Bruin's demographic profile contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. Many urban and suburban areas across the United States have experienced growing racial and ethnic diversity over the past decade, often accompanied by economic changes.
The stability of Bruin's racial composition might be attributed to its small size and rural location. Small, rural communities often experience slower demographic changes compared to urban areas. The economic fluctuations, particularly the significant income increase from 2015 to 2021, could be related to broader economic trends or changes in local industries, rather than demographic shifts.
In conclusion, Bruin has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community over the past decade, with slight indications of potential future diversification. The economic fluctuations, particularly in median income, appear to be influenced more by broader economic factors than by local demographic changes. Future observations may reveal if the minor increases in diversity continue and potentially impact the community's economic and social dynamics.
