Zip code 20184 in Upperville, Virginia, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 1,355 and a median household income of $98,318, which exceeds the national average. This affluent, predominantly white community has undergone minor demographic changes over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Upperville has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority." The white population decreased from 84% in 2013 to 77% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 9% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. The Asian population doubled from 1% to 2%, while the Black population remained stable at 3-4%. Data for "two or more races" (2% in 2022) emerged, indicating growing recognition of multiracial identities. These changes suggest a slow trend towards a "Transitional Community."
The economic landscape of Upperville has fluctuated over the past decade. Median income peaked in 2017 at $147,629 but declined to $98,318 in 2022. Despite this decline, the area remains affluent, with median incomes consistently above $100,000 for most of the observed period. The population has remained relatively stable, between 1,200 and 1,500 residents.
The gradual increase in diversity coincides with economic fluctuation, particularly the decline in median income since 2017. This may suggest the area is becoming slightly more accessible to a diverse population as housing costs potentially adjust to lower income levels. However, the median income remains high, indicating that Upperville continues to be an affluent area.
The demographic shifts in Upperville, though gradual, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The high median income, even after recent declines, likely places Upperville well above national and state averages, suggesting it remains an enclave of affluence. The slow pace of diversification may indicate that socioeconomic barriers to entry remain high in this community, despite slight increases in racial diversity.
Upperville remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but subtle demographic shifts over the past decade suggest a slow transition towards increased diversity. This trend, coupled with recent economic fluctuations, may indicate the early stages of broader community changes. However, the persistence of high median incomes suggests that significant socioeconomic barriers to diversity remain in place. Future monitoring will determine whether these gradual shifts accelerate or stabilize in the coming years.
