Ossining, New York, exhibits demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. As of 2022, it is classified as a "Majority-Minority" area with "Moderate Diversity." The Hispanic population comprises 41%, while the White population is 38%. The median income in 2022 is $99,575, indicating an affluent community.
Over the past decade, Ossining has maintained its "Majority-Minority" status. The Hispanic community decreased from 48% in 2013 to 41% in 2022, retaining plurality status. The White population increased from 35% in 2013 to 38% in 2022. The Asian population grew from 4% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The Black population remained stable between 12-15% throughout the decade.
The median income increased from $83,812 in 2013 to $99,575 in 2022, a 19% rise. The population grew from 25,211 in 2013 to 27,076 in 2022, a 7.4% increase. These changes suggest an increasingly attractive community for new residents, potentially contributing to the observed demographic shifts.
Ossining's demographic composition and economic trends align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas and rising income levels in diverse communities. The continued plurality of the Hispanic population distinguishes Ossining from many other New York suburban communities.
Based on observed trends, Ossining is likely to remain a "Majority-Minority" community with "Moderate Diversity" in the near future. A transition towards "High Diversity" within the next decade is possible if current trends persist. This prediction is based on the gradual decline in the Hispanic plurality, the slight increase in White and Asian populations, and the stable Black population.
The steady increase in median income is expected to continue, potentially attracting more diverse, affluent residents. This could further balance the racial demographics, pushing the community closer to the "High Diversity" category where no single group exceeds 40% of the population.
Ossining demonstrates a dynamic, evolving community where demographic shifts and economic growth are interconnected. As it potentially transitions towards higher diversity, monitoring these changes will be important for understanding their impact on community cohesion, local policies, and economic opportunities for all residents.
