The population has steadily decreased over the decade, from 11,750 in 2013 to 10,477 in 2022. This population decline, combined with fluctuating median income, suggests potential economic challenges in the area.
This zip code has maintained its low diversity status, contrasting with national trends of increasing diversity in many areas. The slight increase in the Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities across the United States. The overall lack of significant diversification distinguishes this community from many urban and suburban areas that have experienced more rapid demographic changes.
The median income fluctuations, particularly the 2017 peak followed by a decline, may reflect broader economic trends such as recovery from the 2008 financial crisis followed by more recent economic challenges.
In conclusion, zip code 16412 in Edinboro has maintained its Low Diversity status over the past decade. Subtle demographic shifts and significant income fluctuations suggest a community in slow transition. The declining population and recent downward trend in median income may pose challenges for the community's future economic stability and potential for diversification.
