Zip code 13029 (Brewerton, New York) is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The community has a population of 7,669 and a median income of $79,916. From 2013 to 2022, Brewerton maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a white population consistently above 90%. A small increase in diversity is observed, with the "Two or More Races" category rising from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. Hispanic and Asian populations remained relatively constant at 1-2% each, while the Black population stayed at or near 0%.
The median income in Brewerton showed an overall upward trend, increasing from $73,275 in 2013 to $79,916 in 2022, a 9.1% increase over the decade. The highest median income of $91,757 was recorded in 2021. The population grew modestly from 6,989 in 2013 to 7,669 in 2022, an increase of about 9.7%.
The stable, predominantly white demographic composition appears to correlate with steady economic growth. The slight increase in diversity coincides with the period of highest median income (2020-2021), suggesting a possible link between gradual diversification and economic attractiveness.
Brewerton's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many areas. The income growth, while positive, appears modest but may be competitive for a small CDP in upstate New York. The area's resistance to significant demographic change might indicate strong community ties, limited housing development, or other factors preserving the existing community structure.
Brewerton presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with gradual economic improvement and very slow diversification. It does not reflect the rapid demographic shifts seen in many U.S. communities. The subtle changes in its racial composition, particularly the growth in multi-racial residents, may indicate the beginning of a long-term transition towards greater diversity. Local leaders may face the challenge of maintaining economic growth while potentially adapting to changing demographics in the future.
