Auburntown has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the white population has remained above 90%, with only minor fluctuations. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with the introduction of small percentages of Black, Hispanic, and Asian residents, but these changes have been minimal and have not significantly altered the overall demographic categorization of the area.
The community has shown some signs of becoming a "Transitional Community," albeit at a very slow pace. The introduction of Asian residents (1% by 2021) and the slight increase in Black and Hispanic populations (each reaching 1% by 2022) indicate a gradual trend towards increased diversity, though the change is marginal.
The median income in Auburntown has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2016, there was a decline in median income from $53,708 to $46,367. However, from 2016 onwards, there has been a general upward trend, with the median income reaching a peak of $72,132 in 2021 before slightly declining to $64,864 in 2022. The period of increasing income (2016-2021) coincides with the gradual introduction of more diverse racial groups into the community.
Population figures have remained relatively stable over the decade, with a slight increase from 886 in 2013 to 1,016 in 2022. This modest population growth, combined with the increasing median income, suggests a gradually improving economic situation in the community.
Auburntown's demographic composition contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The community's persistent "Low Diversity" status suggests it may be a more rural or isolated community that has been less affected by broader demographic changes. The income growth in Auburntown, particularly from 2016 to 2021, aligns with the general trend of economic recovery and growth seen in many parts of the United States following the 2008 financial crisis. However, the community's median income remains below the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021.
In conclusion, Auburntown has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade, with subtle signs of a very gradual shift towards increased diversity. This shift has occurred alongside generally improving economic conditions, as evidenced by rising median incomes. However, the pace of demographic change remains slow compared to national trends, suggesting that local factors may be influencing the community's demographic and economic evolution.
