Camp Hill has maintained its "Low Diversity" status over the past decade, with a gradual trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased from 83% in 2013 to 75% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 3% to 7%, the Asian population grew from 4% to 6%, and the "Two or More Races" category rose from 2% to 5% during this period. These changes indicate a slow but consistent diversification of the community.
The demographic shifts have coincided with an upward trend in median income. The median income increased from $72,892 in 2013 to $86,059 in 2022, representing an 18% growth. There were fluctuations in the median income, with a peak of $92,549 in 2021 before a slight decrease in 2022. The population grew steadily, increasing from 35,235 in 2013 to 38,813 in 2022, a growth of about 10%.
The trend towards increasing diversity in Camp Hill aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in suburban areas. The consistent population growth and rising median income suggest that the area has remained economically attractive throughout the decade. The maintenance of a white majority, despite increasing diversity, indicates that change is occurring at a slower pace than in some other suburban areas that have seen more rapid demographic shifts.
Camp Hill remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong white majority, but shows signs of gradual diversification and economic growth. These trends, if continued, could lead to more significant demographic changes in the future, potentially shifting the area towards greater diversity and different economic dynamics. The community appears to be in a state of slow transition, balancing traditional demographics with emerging diversity and sustained economic growth.
