Pinardville, a Census Designated Place (CDP) in New Hampshire, exhibits a demographic profile categorized as "Low Diversity" based on established criteria. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 87% of the total, exceeding the 75% threshold for this classification. The neighborhood has experienced subtle shifts in its racial composition over the past decade, coupled with fluctuations in median income. Pinardville is known for its strong French-Canadian heritage, which has historically influenced its cultural landscape and community dynamics.
From 2013 to 2022, Pinardville has consistently maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. However, there are signs of gradual diversification. The white population decreased from 95% in 2013 to 87% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 2% to 6% during this period. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 1% to 5%. These changes indicate a slow transition towards a more diverse community, aligning with the concept of a "Transitional Community," albeit at a modest pace.
The median income in Pinardville has shown significant volatility over the past decade. It peaked at $76,338 in 2014 but declined to $60,628 by 2022. This represents a 20.6% decrease in median income over eight years. The decline in median income coincides with the gradual increase in diversity, potentially suggesting a correlation between demographic changes and economic shifts. Population trends show a modest increase from 7,895 in 2013 to 8,552 in 2022, indicating a stable community with slight growth.
The demographic shifts observed in Pinardville align with broader national trends of increasing diversity, particularly in suburban areas. However, the pace of change in Pinardville appears slower than national averages. The decrease in median income contrasts with general upward trends in many parts of the United States during this period.
The persistence of a strong white majority in Pinardville (87% in 2022) is notably higher than the national average, which was approximately 60% non-Hispanic white in 2022. This suggests that while Pinardville is experiencing gradual diversification, it remains significantly less diverse than many other areas of the country.
The economic downturn observed in Pinardville, with a 20.6% decrease in median income from 2014 to 2022, is more severe than national trends. Nationally, median household income generally increased during this period, except for a temporary dip during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Pinardville presents a case of a traditionally homogeneous community experiencing slow but steady demographic changes, coupled with economic challenges. The community's evolution reflects broader national trends towards increased diversity, but at a more modest pace. The significant decline in median income, contrary to national trends, suggests local economic factors that may require further investigation and potentially targeted economic development strategies.
