The population has shown an overall increasing trend, growing from 558 in 2018 to 839 in 2022. This population growth, coupled with the increasing diversity, suggests that the neighborhood is becoming more attractive to a wider range of residents while maintaining its affluent status.

The demographic shifts observed in Lauderdale Beach align with broader trends seen in many coastal Florida communities. Many of these areas are experiencing increased diversity, particularly with growth in Hispanic populations. Lauderdale Beach's persistence as a predominantly white, affluent area sets it apart from some rapidly diversifying urban areas in Florida.

The median household income in Lauderdale Beach ($93,815 in 2022) is higher than the national median of approximately $70,784 (as of 2021), indicating that despite demographic changes, the neighborhood remains an economically privileged area.

The gradual increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, reflects a broader national trend of increasing diversity in suburban and traditionally homogeneous communities. The pace of change in Lauderdale Beach appears to be slower than in many other urban areas, suggesting that while change is occurring, the neighborhood is maintaining much of its traditional character.

Lauderdale Beach is showing signs of transitioning from a Low Diversity, White Majority area to a more diverse community, albeit at a slow pace. The neighborhood maintains its affluent status despite these changes, indicating that incoming diverse populations are likely of similar socioeconomic status. This gradual shift towards becoming a Transitional Community, while maintaining high property values and incomes, presents a case study in how established, wealthy neighborhoods adapt to broader demographic trends.
