Quincy Hollow, a neighborhood in Levittown, Pennsylvania, currently exhibits a Low Diversity profile with a White Majority. As of 2022, the community has a population of 1,825 and a median income of $103,830. This suburban area, covering 0.27 square miles, is part of the larger Levittown planned community, known for its post-World War II development and standardized housing designs.
Over the past decade, Quincy Hollow has transitioned from an extremely homogeneous community to one showing signs of increasing diversity, though still categorized as Low Diversity. In 2013, the neighborhood was characterized by a White Majority of 93%. By 2022, while still maintaining a White Majority, the percentage had decreased to 69%, indicating a Transitional Community trend.
The most significant changes occurred in the Hispanic and Black populations. The Hispanic community grew from 0% in 2013 to 20% in 2022, while the Black population increased from 7% to 9% over the same period. This shift suggests a gradual movement towards Moderate Diversity, though the community has not yet reached that threshold.
The demographic changes have coincided with fluctuations in median income. The median income peaked in 2021 at $119,296, coinciding with the most diverse year in the dataset. Income levels have generally remained high throughout the period, ranging from the mid-$90,000s to over $100,000, indicating a consistently affluent neighborhood.
The population has shown variability, with no clear linear trend, fluctuating between approximately 1,400 and 2,000 residents over the years. This suggests that while the racial composition is changing, the overall desirability and capacity of the neighborhood have remained relatively stable.
The gradual diversification of Quincy Hollow reflects broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many suburbs across the United States, particularly those near major metropolitan areas, have seen growing minority populations over the past two decades. The pace of change in Quincy Hollow appears to be slower than national averages, which could be attributed to its history as a planned community and its relatively high income levels.
The economic resilience of the neighborhood, maintaining high median incomes despite demographic shifts, is notable. This suggests that the incoming diverse populations are likely of similar socioeconomic status to the existing residents, potentially indicating a pattern of affluent minority families moving into traditionally white, upper-middle-class suburbs.
Quincy Hollow remains a predominantly white, affluent suburb, but shows clear signs of a Transitional Community. The increasing diversity, particularly in Hispanic and Black populations, coupled with stable high incomes, suggests a gradual integration of minority groups into this historically homogeneous neighborhood. This trend, if continued, may lead to a more diverse community in the coming years, potentially shifting towards Moderate Diversity while maintaining its economic prosperity.
