Zip code 11510 in Baldwin, New York, transitioned from a "White Plurality" community in 2013 to a "Black Plurality" within a "Majority-Minority" framework by 2022. The area has a population of 33,969 and a median household income of $129,864. As of 2022, Black residents form the largest group at 39%, followed by White residents at 31%, and Hispanic residents at 21%.
Over the past decade, Baldwin has undergone a significant demographic transformation. The White population declined from 46% in 2013 to 31% in 2022, while the Black population increased from 27% to 39%. The Hispanic population remained stable at around 21-23%. Multiracial identification grew from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. These changes indicate Baldwin has become a "Transitional Community" with increasing racial diversity.
The demographic shifts have coincided with overall economic growth. Median income increased from $117,147 in 2013 to $129,864 in 2022, a rise of 10.9%. The population grew modestly from 32,071 in 2013 to 33,969 in 2022, an increase of 5.9%. This economic growth alongside increasing diversity suggests the area has maintained its attractiveness to middle and upper-middle-class families across various racial groups.
The trends observed in Baldwin align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas near major metropolitan centers. These include the suburbanization of diversity, as minority populations expand beyond traditional urban centers, and growth in the middle-class minority population. The significant increase in multiracial identification mirrors national trends, particularly among younger generations.
The changes in Baldwin reflect larger demographic shifts occurring across the United States, particularly in suburban areas near diverse urban centers. The community's ability to maintain economic growth while undergoing significant demographic changes suggests a relatively smooth transition and integration process.
