Over the past decade, Daphne has maintained its status as a White Majority community, with subtle shifts towards increased diversity. The white population percentage has decreased from 83% in 2013 to 76% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady trend towards greater racial diversity. The city shows signs of moving from Low Diversity towards Moderate Diversity.
The Black population has increased from 11% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. There has been a slight increase in the Asian and Hispanic populations, as well as those identifying as two or more races. These changes suggest the beginnings of a Transitional Community, albeit at a slow pace.
The median income in Daphne has increased from $75,838 in 2013 to $81,609 in 2022, representing a 7.6% increase over the decade. This income growth correlates with the gradual increase in diversity, suggesting that the city's economic opportunities may be attracting a more diverse population.
The population growth from 28,491 in 2010 to 36,173 in 2022 represents a 27% increase. This substantial growth, coupled with rising incomes and increasing diversity, indicates that Daphne is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for various demographic groups.
Daphne's trends align with broader patterns seen in many suburban areas across the United States. The gradual increase in diversity, coupled with economic growth, is consistent with national trends of suburbanization and the movement of minority populations into traditionally white-majority suburban areas.
Based on the observed trends, Daphne is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity over the coming years. If current trends persist, the city may transition from a Low Diversity to a Moderate Diversity community within the next decade. The white majority is likely to decrease further, potentially dropping below 75%, while other racial groups, particularly Black and Hispanic populations, may continue to grow.
Economically, the steady increase in median income suggests continued prosperity for the city. As diversity increases, it will be important to monitor income distribution across different racial groups to ensure equitable economic growth.
Daphne is showing signs of a gradual transition from a predominantly White Majority, Low Diversity community towards a more diverse and economically prosperous urban area. The consistent trends suggest a continuing evolution of the city's demographic and economic landscape in the coming years.
