The zip code 07723 in Deal, New Jersey, has experienced a demographic transformation from 2013 to 2022. Initially categorized as a "Low Diversity" area with a 90% white population in 2013, it has evolved into a "White Majority" community with 76% white population by 2022. The median income in 2022 was $88,136. This shift indicates a trend towards increased diversity.
The Hispanic population showed the most significant growth, increasing from 6% in 2013 to 16% in 2022. The emergence of other racial categories in the data further supports this trend towards diversity. These changes suggest that the zip code is transitioning towards a "Moderate Diversity" area.
The median income has fluctuated over the years. In 2013, it was $101,223, peaking at $102,019 in 2021 before decreasing to $88,136 in 2022. Despite this slight decrease, the area maintains a high income level compared to national averages. The population has seen a general decline from 2,071 in 2010 to 1,417 in 2022.
The trends observed in this zip code align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The growth in the Hispanic population reflects larger demographic trends seen across the country, especially in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The persistence of a high median income despite these changes is noteworthy.
The combination of increasing diversity, high but fluctuating incomes, and a decreasing population suggests that Deal is undergoing a significant transition. This could be due to factors such as changing housing preferences, generational shifts, or broader economic trends affecting the region.
Deal remains a predominantly white, high-income area, but it is in a state of demographic and economic flux. The community is evolving from a state of low diversity towards moderate diversity, potentially reshaping local dynamics and community characteristics in the coming years. These changes may present both challenges and opportunities for community cohesion, local services, and economic development in the area.
