Zip code 43056 in Heath, Ohio, is classified as having Low Diversity as of 2022. The population is 92% white, a demographic composition that has remained stable over the past decade. The median income in 2022 was $61,974.
From 2013 to 2022, Heath has consistently maintained a Low Diversity classification. The white population has remained the Racial Majority, comprising 91% to 94% of the population. Minor fluctuations in minority populations have not significantly altered the overall diversity category.
Subtle indicators of a potential Transitional Community include: an increase in residents identifying as two or more races from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022; growth in the Hispanic population from less than 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022; and a stable Black population of approximately 2%. These minor increases in minority populations suggest a gradual trend towards slightly increased diversity.
The median income in Heath has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $53,500 in 2013 to $61,974 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. A significant increase to $73,818 occurred in 2021 before decreasing in 2022. This general rise in median income correlates with subtle demographic shifts, potentially indicating the area is attracting a more diverse, economically stable population.
The population has remained relatively stable, ranging between approximately 18,000 and 20,000 residents over the decade. This stability, combined with the gradual increase in income, suggests an economically resilient community that is slowly becoming more diverse.
Heath's subtle shifts towards increased diversity align with broader national trends in suburban areas, albeit at a slower pace. The economic growth in Heath, reflected in rising median income, generally follows national trends of economic recovery and growth post-2008 recession. The significant income increase in 2021 followed by a decrease in 2022 may reflect broader economic volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath.
Heath remains a Low Diversity area with a strong White Majority, but shows early indications of a potential transition towards slightly increased diversity. This shift, coupled with overall positive economic trends, suggests a slowly evolving community maintaining economic stability. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understand potential future transitions in diversity classification and economic landscape.
