Enhaut, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "White Majority" community, with the white population comprising 65% of the total in 2022. The city's median income was $57,565 in 2022. With a population of 2,095 spread over 0.23 square miles, Enhaut is a small, densely populated urban area.
Over the past decade, Enhaut has undergone significant demographic changes. In 2013, the community was classified as "Moderate Diversity," with a white population of 55% and a black population of 27%. By 2022, the city transitioned to a more pronounced "White Majority" status, with the white population increasing to 65% while the black population decreased to 12%.
The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 7% and 19% over the years. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 2% in 2013 to 11% in 2021, before dropping to 5% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 0% in 2013 to 5% in 2022.
The median income in Enhaut has fluctuated over the years, peaking at $65,616 in 2015 before declining to $57,565 in 2022. This overall downward trend in income correlates with the shift towards a more pronounced white majority. The population has remained relatively stable, hovering around 2,000 residents throughout the decade.
The trend in Enhaut towards a more pronounced white majority runs counter to many urban areas in the United States, which have generally seen increasing diversity over the past decade. The decline in median income also contrasts with national trends of slow but steady income growth in many areas.
Based on the observed trends, Enhaut appears to be moving towards a more homogeneous racial composition. If current trends continue, we might expect further consolidation of the white majority, continued gradual increase in the Asian population, potential stabilization or slight decrease in median income, and a possible transition into a "Transitional Community" category if the recent uptick in Hispanic population continues, coupled with the growing Asian population.
Small communities like Enhaut can be sensitive to relatively minor demographic shifts, so future changes could be influenced by factors such as local economic developments, housing policies, or regional migration patterns.
