The area experienced moderate economic growth from 2013 to 2022, with median income increasing from $57,373 to $79,754, a 39% rise.
The demographic composition of Turbotville remained relatively stable from 2013 to 2022, consistently maintaining its "Low Diversity" status. The white population remained the dominant racial group, consistently comprising over 90% of the total population. Minor increases in diversity were observed, with the Hispanic population growing from 0% to 2%, individuals of two or more races increasing from 0% to 1%, and other races rising from no data to 5% in recent years.
Economic indicators showed positive trends during this period. The median income demonstrated steady growth, with a significant increase occurring between 2019 ($66,807) and 2020 ($78,648). This economic expansion coincided with slight increases in diversity, potentially indicating some economic development attracting a marginally more diverse population. The population experienced minor fluctuations, showing an overall slight decline from 2,287 in 2013 to 2,130 in 2022. This population decrease did not appear to negatively impact economic growth, as median incomes continued to rise.
Turbotville's racial composition differs significantly from national averages. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population at approximately 59.3% of the total U.S. population, compared to 92% in this zip code. The median household income in the United States was approximately $70,784 in 2021. Turbotville's median income of $79,754 in 2022 exceeded this national average, indicating a relatively prosperous community. The gradual increase in diversity, though minimal, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many U.S. communities.
In conclusion, Turbotville maintains its classification as a "Low Diversity" community, with subtle indications of demographic shifts. These changes, combined with consistent economic growth, suggest the possibility of a gradual transition. However, any significant shift towards increased diversity would likely require many years at the current rate of change.
