The Isle of Capri neighborhood in Treasure Island, Florida, is a community with low diversity, predominantly populated by White residents (92% in 2022). The median income in 2022 was $84,345, indicating a relatively affluent area. This coastal community is known for its beaches and waterfront properties.
Over the past decade, Isle of Capri has maintained its status as a low diversity community. The White population has remained the racial majority, consistently above 89%. The Hispanic population showed a gradual increase from 3% in 2013 to 8% in 2019, before declining to 6% in 2022. The 'Two or More Races' category appeared in the data from 2018 onwards, representing about 1-2% of the population. Asian, Black, Native American, and Pacific Islander populations have maintained very low percentages throughout the decade.
The economic trajectory of Isle of Capri shows a trend of increasing affluence. The median income rose from $63,640 in 2013 to $84,345 in 2022, representing an increase of about 32.5% over nine years. There were some fluctuations, with the median income peaking at $90,837 in 2021 before decreasing slightly in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 2,300 and 2,800 residents throughout the decade.
The persistent low diversity and increasing affluence suggest a potential reinforcing cycle. The predominantly White, affluent community may attract similar residents, maintaining the demographic homogeneity while driving up property values and incomes. The slight increase in Hispanic population coincided with the period of rising incomes.
The demographic profile of Isle of Capri contrasts with Florida's overall diversity. Florida is known for its multicultural population, particularly with large Hispanic communities. The low diversity in Isle of Capri suggests it may be an enclave within the broader, more diverse Florida context.
The rising median income in Isle of Capri outpaces the national trend. While the U.S. saw median household income growth from about $53,000 in 2013 to $70,000 in 2022 (a 32% increase), Isle of Capri's growth was more pronounced, starting from a higher base and growing by 32.5%.
Isle of Capri presents a picture of a stable, affluent, predominantly White community that has seen gradual economic growth over the past decade. While there are hints of increasing diversity, particularly with a growing Hispanic population, the overall demographic composition remains largely unchanged. This stability, combined with rising affluence, suggests a community that may face challenges in increasing its diversity in the near future without intentional efforts or broader socio-economic changes.
