The percentage of white residents (86%) is above the national average.
Westerville (zip code 43082) remains a predominantly white, affluent suburb with "Low Diversity." There are subtle indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. This trend, coupled with steady economic growth, suggests that the area may be in the early stages of a demographic transition. The pace of change is slow, and it may take many years before the community moves into a different category of diversity. The high median income and property values likely play a significant role in shaping these demographic patterns, potentially limiting the speed of diversification while attracting a select group of affluent minorities.
