Eagle Crest, a neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Florida, is classified as Low Diversity with a predominantly White population of 88% in 2022. The area has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income increasing from $45,655 in 2013 to $71,838 in 2022. Eagle Crest is characterized by its residential nature and proximity to natural areas, appealing to residents seeking a suburban lifestyle within city limits.
Eagle Crest has maintained a Low Diversity classification from 2013 to 2022. The White population has remained the racial majority, consistently comprising over 84% of the total population. Minor demographic shifts have occurred during this period. The Black population increased from 3% in 2013 to 8% in 2017, before decreasing to 2% by 2022. The Hispanic population grew gradually from 4% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 0% in 2013 to 2% by 2022. These changes indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity, though not sufficient to alter the neighborhood's overall classification.
The economic trajectory of Eagle Crest has been positive, with median income rising by approximately 57% from 2013 to 2022. This growth correlates with subtle demographic changes. The period of highest Black representation (2015-2018) coincided with a plateau in median income growth. The recent increase in Asian and Hispanic populations (2019-2022) aligns with a significant increase in median income, potentially indicating an influx of higher-income diverse residents. Population numbers have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1,200 and 1,400 residents, suggesting that income growth is not primarily driven by population expansion.
Eagle Crest's maintenance of Low Diversity status contrasts with national trends of increasing diversification in many urban areas. The neighborhood's stability in racial composition differs from the growing diversity observed in many suburban areas across the United States. However, the economic growth in Eagle Crest aligns with broader patterns of income increases in desirable suburban locations, particularly those near major cities.
The gradual increase in Hispanic and Asian populations, though small, reflects wider demographic shifts seen in many parts of Florida and the broader Sunbelt region. These changes may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards increased diversity, albeit at a slower pace than many other urban and suburban areas across the country.
Eagle Crest represents a relatively stable, predominantly White suburban neighborhood that has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. While showing signs of slow diversification, it has not yet reached a point that would significantly alter its demographic categorization. The economic improvements suggest that the area remains attractive to residents and potentially to new, higher-income diverse households, which may gradually influence its demographic makeup in the future.
