Zip code 19460 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 45,917 and a median household income of $112,002, indicating a relatively affluent suburban environment.
The demographic composition of Phoenixville has remained stable from 2013 to 2022, consistently maintaining its "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" status. The white population has constituted approximately 82% of the total population throughout the decade, with minimal fluctuations. This stability suggests a well-established community demographic with little significant change in racial composition.
Despite the overall stability, minor shifts in the racial composition have been observed. The Asian population increased slightly from 5% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The Hispanic population showed a temporary increase from 4% to 6% between 2013 and 2018, before returning to 4% by 2022. These subtle changes, while not altering the overall categorization, may indicate the beginning of a gradual diversification process.
Economic trends in the area show significant growth. The median household income increased from $99,773 in 2013 to $112,002 in 2022, representing a 12.3% rise over nine years. This increase outpaced inflation, suggesting growing prosperity in the area. The population also grew steadily from 41,761 in 2013 to 45,917 in 2022, a 10% increase. These trends indicate that the area is becoming increasingly attractive to new residents.
The median household income in this zip code ($112,002 in 2022) is notably higher than the national median income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. This indicates that Phoenixville is a relatively affluent area. The stability of the racial composition, particularly the high percentage of white residents, contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many suburban areas. However, the slight increases in Asian and multiracial populations may reflect broader national trends of growing diversity, albeit at a much slower pace in this community.
In conclusion, while Phoenixville (19460) maintains its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority," there are subtle indications of gradual diversification. The area's economic indicators demonstrate strong growth in both population and income, suggesting a prosperous and attractive community. The pace of demographic change is slower than what might be observed in more rapidly diversifying suburban areas across the country. Future years will determine whether these subtle shifts in racial composition accelerate or whether the community maintains its current demographic stability.
