Foster Brook, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 93% of the total 3,817 residents. The median income is $59,054. Over the past decade, Foster Brook has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, though minor shifts have occurred. The white population decreased from 97% in 2013 to 93% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 1% to 3% during this period. The Asian population remained stable at 1-2%. A "two or more races" category emerged, representing 2% of the population in 2022.
The median income has grown from $46,397 in 2013 to $59,054 in 2022, a 27% increase over nine years. The peak median income was $61,207 in 2019, with a slight decline thereafter. The population has remained stable, fluctuating between 3,679 and 3,933 over the decade.
Foster Brook's demographic composition contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The community's economic growth aligns with broader trends of rising incomes in suburban areas.
Based on observed trends, Foster Brook is likely to continue its slow diversification process. It is unlikely to transition out of the "Low Diversity" category in the near future. Projections suggest a continued gradual decrease in the white population, potentially dropping below 90% in the next 5-10 years. Further growth in the Hispanic and multiracial populations is anticipated. There is potential for increased Asian representation.
Economically, if the trend continues, median incomes may surpass $65,000 in the next 5 years, assuming economic recovery and growth post-pandemic. A transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification could occur if the white population drops below 75% and other racial groups gain more significant representation. However, this would require a substantial acceleration of current trends and is not likely in the short to medium term.
