The zip code 44024 in Chardon, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area has a population of 23,006 and a median household income of $92,650, indicating a relatively affluent suburban environment.
Chardon has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority" over the past decade. In 2013, the white population comprised 96% of the total, decreasing slightly to 92% by 2022. Despite this minor change, the area remains predominantly white.
There are subtle indications of a "Transitional Community" emerging. The Hispanic population has increased from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has also risen from 1% to 3% during this period. These small but consistent increases suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter the overall categorization of the area.
The median household income in Chardon has grown significantly over the past decade, increasing from $77,221 in 2013 to $92,650 in 2022, a rise of approximately 20%. This trend indicates growing affluence in the community, which may be attracting a more diverse population, albeit at a slow pace.
The population has remained relatively stable, growing slightly from 22,558 in 2013 to 23,006 in 2022. This stability, combined with rising incomes, suggests a mature, established community that is gradually becoming more prosperous.
The demographic composition of Chardon contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The slow pace of change in Chardon's racial composition, despite rising incomes, may indicate factors such as limited housing development, established community dynamics, or regional demographic patterns that differ from national averages.
The significant increase in median household income outpaces national averages for the same period, suggesting that Chardon has experienced stronger economic growth than many other areas of the country. This economic strength could potentially attract more diverse residents in the future.
Chardon remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but subtle shifts in its demographic makeup and substantial economic growth indicate the potential for more significant changes in the future. The community appears to be in the early stages of a transition, balancing its established character with gradual diversification and increasing prosperity.
