Zip code 17241, which includes Newville in Pennsylvania, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 96% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. This demographic composition has remained consistent over the past decade, with minimal changes in racial diversity.
From 2013 to 2022, Newville has maintained its Low Diversity and White Majority status. The white population has consistently represented 96-97% of the total, with only minor fluctuations. This stability indicates a demographic structure that has resisted significant change over the past decade.
Minor increases in minority populations have occurred, particularly among Hispanic residents, who grew from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. However, these changes are insufficient to alter the area's overall demographic categorization.
The median income in Newville has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $54,580 in 2013 to $61,873 in 2022, a rise of approximately 13.4% over the decade. This growth has not been consistently linear, with year-to-year fluctuations observed.
The population has experienced a slight decline during the same period, decreasing from 12,249 in 2013 to 11,577 in 2022, a reduction of about 5.5%. The combination of rising median income and declining population may indicate economic improvement for remaining residents, possibly due to outmigration of lower-income households or economic growth benefiting those who stayed.
Newville's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas of the United States. While many urban and suburban areas have experienced significant increases in racial and ethnic diversity over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its predominantly white composition.
The economic trends in Newville generally align with broader national patterns of income growth over the past decade. However, the population decline observed here differs from the growth experienced in many suburban and exurban areas, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic when many people moved out of urban centers.
Newville demonstrates demographic stability amid moderate economic growth. Its persistent Low Diversity and White Majority status, combined with rising incomes and a slightly shrinking population, indicate a community that has experienced limited demographic change but some economic improvement over the past decade. This pattern may suggest a community that is somewhat insulated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more urban or rapidly growing areas of the country.
