Biscayne Terrace, a neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida, is characterized as a "Black Majority" community with low diversity. In 2022, the Black population constituted 75% of the residents. The neighborhood has undergone significant demographic and economic changes over the past decade. Biscayne Terrace is located near the St. Johns River, which has influenced the area's development and community dynamics.
From 2013 to 2022, Biscayne Terrace maintained its status as a "Black Majority" community. The Black population remained above 70% from 2013 to 2017. Between 2018 and 2021, the Black majority strengthened, reaching 81% in 2019 and 2020. In 2022, there was a slight decrease to 75%, still firmly within the "Black Majority" category. The White population, while remaining a minority, fluctuated from 22% in 2013 to 15% in 2019, then increased to 23% by 2022.
The demographic shifts correlated with economic changes. From 2013 to 2015, median income increased slightly from $77,031 to $77,909. Between 2016 and 2020, there was a significant decline in median income from $73,968 to $52,749. In 2021 and 2022, income fluctuated, rising to $62,647 in 2021 and dropping to $54,100 in 2022. The population grew overall from 3,541 in 2013 to 3,773 in 2022, with fluctuations in between. The most significant population increase occurred in 2020 (4,674), coinciding with the lowest median income point.
The persistent "Black Majority" status of Biscayne Terrace contrasts with many urban areas experiencing gentrification and diversification. The decline in median income from 2013 to 2022 (approximately 30%) is more severe than national trends. The slight increase in diversity from 2020 to 2022 might reflect broader urban demographic shifts, albeit on a smaller scale in this neighborhood.
Biscayne Terrace presents a case of a predominantly Black community experiencing economic challenges while maintaining its racial majority status. The recent slight increase in diversity, coupled with fluctuating incomes, suggests the neighborhood may be at the cusp of further demographic and economic changes in the coming years.
