Huntington Pointe, a neighborhood in Lake Mary, Florida, exhibits characteristics of a White Majority community with Moderate Diversity. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 70% of the neighborhood, with representation from Asian (16%) and Hispanic (6%) groups. The area has a median income of $122,915 in 2022, above the national average. Huntington Pointe is known for its golf courses and proximity to Orlando's technology corridor.
Over the past decade, Huntington Pointe has maintained its status as a White Majority community, with fluctuations in diversity. In 2013, white residents comprised 69% of the population, with Hispanic (11%) and Asian (10%) groups. By 2016, the white population decreased to 64% and Asian and Hispanic populations grew to 13% and 14% respectively. From 2017 onwards, there has been a trend back towards a stronger White Majority. The 2022 data shows the white population at 70%, Asian residents at 16%, and Hispanic population at 6%.
The demographic shifts in Huntington Pointe correlate with economic trends. The median income has risen from $104,764 in 2013 to $122,915 in 2022, an increase of about 17%. The period of highest diversity (2014-2016) saw slower income growth. As the community shifted back towards a stronger White Majority from 2017 onwards, there was a more rapid increase in median income, peaking at $139,462 in 2021 before decreasing in 2022.
The population of Huntington Pointe has fluctuated, peaking at 748 in 2016 and declining to 557 in 2022. This population decrease, coupled with increasing median income, suggests a potential trend of gentrification or a shift towards higher-value properties with fewer, more affluent residents.
The trends observed in Huntington Pointe reflect patterns seen in many affluent suburbs across the United States. The maintenance of a White Majority status with increasing Asian representation is consistent with trends in high-income tech and professional hubs. The income growth outpaces national averages, indicating that Huntington Pointe is becoming increasingly exclusive.
The decrease in Hispanic population percentage, from 14% in 2016 to 6% in 2022, contrasts with national trends of increasing Hispanic populations in many urban and suburban areas. This could suggest that rising property values and living costs in Huntington Pointe may be pricing out certain demographic groups.
Huntington Pointe presents a case of a high-income, predominantly white neighborhood that has resisted significant diversification over the past decade. While it briefly trended towards higher diversity in the mid-2010s, recent years have seen a consolidation of its White Majority status, coinciding with substantial income growth. These trends suggest that while the neighborhood remains moderately diverse, it may be becoming increasingly exclusive, potentially limiting access for certain demographic groups.
