Winfield, Pennsylvania, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the city has a population of 1,516 with a median income of $72,610. The racial composition is predominantly white (95%), with minimal representation from other racial groups.
Over the past decade, Winfield has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community. The white population has remained above 90% throughout the period, with only minor fluctuations. In 2013-2014, there was a slightly higher presence of Black residents (6-7%), but this decreased in subsequent years. The Hispanic population has shown a small but steady increase, from 0% in 2017 to 2% in 2022. The Asian population and those identifying as two or more races have remained consistently low but present.
The median income in Winfield has shown fluctuation over the years. It increased from $63,738 in 2013 to a peak of $78,823 in 2017. After 2017, there was a decline, reaching a low of $70,664 in 2019. Since then, it has rebounded somewhat, settling at $72,610 in 2022. The population has also fluctuated, with a general downward trend from 1,673 in 2010 to 1,516 in 2022. This represents a decrease of about 9.4% over 12 years.
The economic trends do not seem to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts. The income fluctuations appear to be independent of the small changes in racial composition.
The persistent lack of diversity in Winfield contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many American communities. The median income, while fluctuating, has remained relatively high, suggesting a stable economic environment despite the slight population decline.
Based on the observed trends, Winfield is likely to remain a "Low Diversity" community in the near future. The slow increase in Hispanic residents and those of two or more races suggests a very gradual shift towards slightly more diversity. If this trend continues and accelerates, the community might eventually transition to a "Moderate Diversity" category, but this would likely take many years at the current rate of change.
Economically, the area appears stable with a relatively high median income. The slight population decline might be a concern if it continues, potentially impacting local services and economy. However, the consistent income levels suggest that those remaining in the area are maintaining their economic status.
Winfield presents a picture of a stable, predominantly white community with high incomes. While there are hints of very gradual diversification, significant demographic shifts appear unlikely in the immediate future unless external factors dramatically alter current trends.
