The zip code 13090 in Liverpool, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" area with moderate diversity as of 2022. The white population comprises 79% of the total, with other racial groups having smaller but significant representations.

Liverpool has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" area to one of "Moderate Diversity" over the past decade. In 2013, the white population constituted 87% of the total, indicating a "Low Diversity" classification. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to 79%, while other racial groups experienced increases. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 7% in 2022, the Black population grew from 3% to 6%, and individuals identifying as two or more races rose from 2% to 5%. These changes suggest that Liverpool is becoming a "Transitional Community," with a trend towards increasing diversity over the past decade.
The median income in Liverpool has shown overall growth from $75,882 in 2013 to $80,497 in 2022, an increase of about 6%. This growth has not been consistent. There was significant growth between 2013 and 2019, with the median income reaching $83,272. A notable drop occurred in 2020, with income falling to $80,475. A sharp increase to $87,989 in 2021 was followed by another decrease to $80,497 in 2022. These economic fluctuations coincide with the demographic shifts, potentially indicating a relationship between increasing diversity and economic changes.
The trends observed in Liverpool align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States. Many formerly homogeneous suburbs have been experiencing increased racial and ethnic diversity over the past few decades, often accompanied by economic changes. The median income in Liverpool remains above the national median, indicating that despite some fluctuations, it remains a relatively affluent area. This economic stability may be a factor in attracting a more diverse population.
The gradual nature of these demographic changes, occurring over a decade, suggests a steady integration process rather than rapid gentrification or white flight. This gradual change often allows for more stable community transitions and adaptation to increasing diversity.
Liverpool exemplifies a "Transitional Community" moving from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" while maintaining its status as a "White Majority" area. The concurrent economic fluctuations, ending with a slight overall increase in median income, suggest a complex interplay between demographic and economic factors that warrants continued observation in the coming years.
