Zip code 11767, Nesconset, New York, is classified as a "White Majority" area with emerging diversity as of 2022. The community has a population of 14,639 and a median household income of $129,942, indicating an affluent suburban setting. The white population remains the majority at 74%, but there is a trend towards increasing diversity over the past decade.
The area has transitioned from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity. In 2013, the white population was 85%, decreasing to 74% in 2022. This shift indicates a transition towards Moderate Diversity. The most significant change is the growth of the Hispanic population, from 6% in 2013 to 15% in 2022, suggesting the area is becoming a Transitional Community with respect to Hispanic representation.
The Asian population has shown a modest increase from 4% in 2013 to 6% in 2022, contributing to the overall diversification of the community. The percentage of individuals identifying as two or more races has grown from 1% to 3% over the decade, further indicating a trend towards increased diversity.
The median household income has grown from $117,467 in 2013 to $129,942 in 2022, an increase of about 10.6%. This growth has not been linear, with fluctuations observed throughout the decade. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $132,181, with a slight decrease in 2022. This could indicate a stabilization of economic growth or a response to broader economic factors.
The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 15,152 in 2013 to 14,639 in 2022. This suggests that demographic changes are more likely due to evolving composition of existing residents or gradual turnover rather than significant influxes of new residents.
The demographic shifts observed in Nesconset align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The growth in Hispanic population is consistent with national patterns, where Hispanic communities are expanding beyond traditional urban centers into suburban areas.
The area's high median income and its growth over the decade indicate that it remains an affluent suburb, likely attractive to upwardly mobile diverse populations. This economic stability might be facilitating the gradual increase in diversity without dramatic population changes.
The transition from a predominantly white community to one with increasing diversity, particularly Hispanic representation, mirrors trends seen in many Northeast suburban areas. This gradual change suggests a community in transition, balancing its established character with evolving demographics.
Nesconset (11767) represents an affluent, predominantly white suburban area that is steadily transitioning towards greater diversity. The economic stability of the area appears to be supporting this transition, allowing for gradual demographic changes without significant population fluctuations. As this trend continues, the community may need to adapt its services, cultural offerings, and community engagement strategies to reflect and support its evolving population mix.
