Zip code 19567 in Stouchsburg, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition indicates 85% of the population identifies as white, with a median household income of $72,334. The area has maintained a relatively stable population over the past decade, fluctuating around 5,400 residents.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), this zip code has consistently remained a "White Majority" area, falling under the "Low Diversity" category. However, there have been subtle shifts within this classification. The white population percentage has fluctuated, reaching a peak of 94% in 2020-2021 before slightly decreasing to 85% in 2022. This slight decrease might indicate the beginning of a very gradual diversification process. The Hispanic population has shown some variability, ranging from 3% to 7% over the years, with the highest percentage (7%) recorded in 2022. This could potentially signal the start of a "Transitional Community" trend, albeit at a very slow pace. Asian, Black, and multiracial populations have remained consistently low, generally at or below 2% each throughout the period.
The median household income has shown an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $66,525 to $72,334, representing a growth of about 8.7% over nine years. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $81,797, followed by a significant decrease in 2022. The slight increase in diversity (particularly the Hispanic population) in 2022 coincides with a decrease in median income from the previous year. However, this single data point is not enough to establish a clear correlation between diversity and income levels.
The area's persistent "White Majority" status contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many parts of the United States. The overall increase in median income aligns with broader economic growth patterns seen in many parts of the country over the past decade. Given the relatively low population density (about 246 people per square mile), this area likely represents a rural or suburban community, which often tend to be less diverse than urban areas.
In conclusion, while the zip code 19567 in Stouchsburg, Pennsylvania, has remained a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade, there are subtle signs of potential demographic shifts, particularly in the Hispanic population. The area has experienced moderate economic growth, as evidenced by the overall increase in median household income. However, the community's demographic composition has remained relatively stable compared to national trends towards increasing diversity. Future years will reveal whether the slight increase in diversity observed in 2022 represents the beginning of a longer-term trend or a temporary fluctuation.
