The zip code 18088 in Cherryville, Pennsylvania, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The racial composition is 91% white, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The median income in 2022 was $58,439, showing a decline from previous years.
Over the past decade, Cherryville has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." The white population has decreased slightly from 94% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The black population emerged in the data from 2021, constituting 2% of the population. The category of two or more races increased from 0% in earlier years to 2% by 2022.
The median income in the area has shown a downward trend. The highest median income was recorded in 2016 at $72,048. Since then, there has been a general decline, reaching $58,439 in 2022. Population trends have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 8,600 and 8,900 residents throughout the decade.
The area's racial homogeneity is higher than the national average. As of 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the white alone, not Hispanic or Latino, population was about 59% nationally, compared to 91% in this zip code. The decline in median income may reflect broader economic challenges in the region or shifts in local industries. The slow increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population, aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic populations in many communities across the U.S.
Cherryville remains a predominantly white, low-diversity area, but shows signs of gradual demographic change. The economic downturn evident in the declining median income is a significant concern. Despite these changes, the area has not transitioned to a new category in the diversity classification system, remaining in the "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" categories throughout the observed period.
