The zip code 18512 in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority" of white residents (86%) as of 2022. This area has undergone subtle demographic changes over the past decade, moving slightly away from its previously more homogeneous composition. The zip code, with a median income of $59,154 in 2022 and a population of 13,630, represents a relatively stable, predominantly white suburban community that has experienced gradual changes in its demographic makeup.
From 2013 to 2022, Dunmore has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority." However, there are indications of a slow transition towards slightly increased diversity. The white population decreased from 93% in 2013 to 86% in 2022, indicating a gradual shift away from extreme homogeneity. Hispanic and Asian populations have shown the most significant growth, increasing from 1% and 2% respectively in 2013 to 6% and 5% in 2022. While still categorized as "Low Diversity," these changes suggest the area may be slowly moving towards "Moderate Diversity" in the future if current trends continue.
The demographic shifts correlate with some economic changes. Median income increased from $55,938 in 2013 to $59,154 in 2022, a modest 5.7% growth over nine years. The population fluctuated over the decade, declining from 13,243 in 2013 to a low of 12,453 in 2020, before rebounding to 13,630 in 2022. The income growth, while positive, has not kept pace with inflation, suggesting potential economic pressures on the community.
The demographic shifts in Dunmore, though gradual, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The modest income growth may reflect wider economic challenges faced by many small to medium-sized communities across the United States. The community's ability to maintain a stable population and even grow slightly in recent years, despite economic pressures, suggests some resilience and continued attractiveness as a place to live.
Dunmore remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but it shows signs of slow but steady demographic change. These shifts, coupled with modest economic growth, suggest a community in the early stages of transition. If current trends continue, the area may evolve towards greater diversity in the coming years, potentially bringing both opportunities and challenges for community cohesion and economic development.
