Coburn's low diversity is typical for rural areas in Pennsylvania, which are generally less diverse than urban centers. The income growth in Coburn exceeds national averages for the same period, indicating local economic factors driving prosperity. The increase in the Asian population, while small in absolute terms, may reflect broader trends of increasing diversity in previously homogeneous rural areas.
Coburn remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", but subtle demographic shifts and significant economic growth characterize its evolution over the past decade. The community has experienced economic prosperity without dramatic changes to its racial composition, though the gradual increase in the Asian population suggests the potential for future diversification. These trends reflect a community in slow transition, balancing traditional demographics with emerging economic opportunities and subtle increases in diversity.
