Zip code 18070 in Hereford, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The community has a population of 1,106 and a median income of $79,428. This classification is based on the white population comprising 75% of the total, which meets the threshold for low diversity.
Over the past decade, Hereford has experienced changes in its racial composition while maintaining its status as a "White Majority" area. In 2013, 93% of the population identified as white, decreasing to 75% by 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 7% in 2013 to 23% in 2022, indicating a trend towards increased diversity.
The community has also experienced economic growth. The median income increased from $70,048 in 2013 to $79,428 in 2022, representing a 13.4% increase over nine years. The population grew from 898 in 2013 to 1,106 in 2022, a 23.2% increase.
The trends observed in Hereford align with broader patterns seen in many suburban and rural areas across the United States. Many such communities have experienced increasing diversity over the past decade, particularly with growth in Hispanic populations. The economic growth observed here is also consistent with the general economic recovery and expansion that occurred in many parts of the country following the 2008 recession.
Hereford's racial composition differs from national averages. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino population made up about 59% of the total U.S. population, lower than the 75% seen in this zip code.
Hereford remains a predominantly white community with low diversity but shows signs of demographic transition. This change, coupled with economic growth and population increase, suggests a community in the process of evolution. If current trends continue, it may transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" in the coming years.
