The income growth, while moderate, outpaces inflation, suggesting a stable economic environment.
The slight increase in diversity in recent years, particularly the growth in the Black population from 4% in 2019 to 11% in 2022, may indicate the beginning of a "Transitional Community" phase. This could be influenced by broader demographic shifts in the Jacksonville area or changes in local housing policies.
Atlantic Highlands has maintained its "White Majority" status, but recent trends suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity. This shift, coupled with steady economic growth, may indicate evolving socio-economic dynamics in the neighborhood. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understand the long-term demographic and economic trajectory of Atlantic Highlands.
