Lauderhill, Florida, as of 2022, is classified as a "Racial Majority" community with a significant Black majority. The city's population of 73,637 is 79% Black, with a median income of $44,755. This demographic composition categorizes Lauderhill as "Low Diversity," with one racial group comprising over 75% of the population.
Over the past decade, Lauderhill has maintained its status as a "Racial Majority" community with a Black majority. The Black population increased slightly from 77% in 2013 to 79% in 2022. The city has not transitioned between categories during this period, indicating stability in its racial composition.
Minor shifts have occurred within minority groups. The White population decreased from 11% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased slightly from 7% to 9%. The Asian and Two or More Races categories increased collectively from 2% to 5%. These changes indicate a gradual trend towards increased diversity within minority populations, though not enough to alter the city's overall categorization.
The median income in Lauderhill increased from $34,280 in 2013 to $44,755 in 2022, a 30.6% increase over the decade. This economic improvement correlates with slight increases in diversity among minority populations. The population grew from 69,793 in 2013 to 73,637 in 2022, a 5.5% increase.
Based on observed trends, Lauderhill will likely maintain its status as a "Racial Majority" community with a Black majority in the near future. Gradual increases in Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial populations suggest a slow trend towards greater diversity. If these trends continue, the city might eventually transition to a "Moderate Diversity" category, though this would likely take several more decades at the current rate of change.
Economically, if the trend of income growth continues, Lauderhill may see further improvements in its median income, potentially attracting more diverse residents and businesses. This could accelerate the diversification process, albeit slowly. While Lauderhill remains a stable "Racial Majority" community, subtle demographic shifts and significant economic improvements over the past decade hint at a gradual evolution towards a more diverse and prosperous future, though major changes in its demographic makeup are likely to be slow and long-term.
