The zip code 19543 in New Morgan, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition indicates that 92% of the population identifies as white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The median income for this zip code in 2022 was $87,389.
Over the past decade, this zip code has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority". From 2013 to 2022, the white population has remained above 90%, with only slight fluctuations. The Hispanic population has increased from 2% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The Asian population has slightly increased from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The Black population and those identifying as two or more races have remained relatively stable at around 1% each.
The median income has shown an upward trend over the decade, increasing from $76,071 in 2013 to $87,389 in 2022. This represents a 14.9% increase in median income over nine years. The population has grown modestly, from 5,107 in 2013 to 5,133 in 2022, a 0.5% increase.
The demographic makeup of this zip code contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While the U.S. as a whole has been moving towards becoming a "Majority-Minority" nation, this community remains overwhelmingly white. However, the slight increases in Hispanic and Asian populations mirror broader national trends, albeit at a much slower pace.
The income growth in this zip code outpaces the national average, which saw median household income rise from $52,250 in 2013 to $70,784 in 2021 (a 35.5% increase). This suggests that New Morgan is an affluent area that has experienced stronger economic growth than the nation as a whole.
In conclusion, New Morgan remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority", with subtle signs of demographic shifts. The area's economic prosperity, as evidenced by rising median incomes, may be a factor in attracting a slowly diversifying population. However, the pace of change is much slower than national trends, suggesting that significant shifts in the community's demographic makeup are likely to occur gradually over a longer period.
