Zip code 17747 in Tylersville, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition has remained stable over the past decade, with white residents comprising over 95% of the population. The median income has increased from $53,068 in 2013 to $60,783 in 2022, indicating a gradual improvement in the economic situation of residents.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, Tylersville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The racial composition has shown minimal fluctuations, with the white population consistently representing between 95% and 98% of the total. This stability suggests the area has not experienced significant demographic changes or influxes of new racial groups.
There are subtle indications of very slow diversification. The Hispanic population has increased slightly from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The Asian population has fluctuated between 0% and 2% over the years. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has grown from 0% to 2% by 2022. These changes, while minimal, could potentially indicate the beginning of a very gradual shift towards slightly increased diversity in the future, though not enough to change the area's classification from "Low Diversity" at this time.
The median income in Tylersville has shown a general upward trend, increasing from $53,068 in 2013 to $60,783 in 2022, representing a growth of about 14.5% over nine years. This growth is relatively modest and may be in line with or slightly below inflation rates for the same period. The population has also seen a slight increase, growing from 3,234 in 2013 to 3,407 in 2022, a growth of about 5.3%. This modest population growth, combined with the slow increase in median income, suggests a stable community with gradual economic improvement.
The racial homogeneity of Tylersville is likely higher than national averages, as the United States as a whole has been becoming more diverse over the past decade. The modest income growth may be in line with many rural or small-town areas in the United States, which often see slower economic growth compared to urban centers. The slight population increase goes against the trend of population decline seen in many rural areas, suggesting that Tylersville may have some economic or quality-of-life factors attracting or retaining residents.
Tylersville represents a stable, predominantly white community with slow but steady economic growth. While there are minimal signs of increasing diversity, the area remains characterized by low racial diversity. The economic stability and slight population growth suggest a community that, while not experiencing rapid change, is maintaining its demographic and economic character in the face of broader national trends towards urbanization and increased diversity.
