The Morningside-Meadows Homeowners Association in Clearwater, Florida, is characterized as a Low Diversity neighborhood with a White Majority. As of 2022, the area has a population of 2,167 and a median income of $61,257. The neighborhood has maintained a relatively stable racial composition over the past decade, despite fluctuations in economic indicators.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, the neighborhood has consistently been categorized as Low Diversity and White Majority. The white population has remained dominant, comprising between 73% and 85% of the total population. There are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The Hispanic population has shown a steady increase from 11% in 2013 to 14% in 2022, with a peak of 18% in 2017. From 2018 onwards, there has been an increase in both Black and Native American populations, rising from near-zero to 6% and 3% respectively by 2022. The Asian population, which was around 2-3% in the early 2010s, has decreased to 0% by 2022.
The median income in the neighborhood has shown significant volatility over the past decade. There was a sharp decline in median income from $59,461 in 2013 to $34,887 in 2014, followed by a steady recovery. From 2020 to 2022, the median income has stabilized around $61,000-$65,000, indicating a period of economic consistency. The periods of increasing diversity (2016-2017 and 2020-2022) coincide with periods of rising median income, suggesting a possible positive relationship between increasing diversity and economic growth in this neighborhood.
The trends observed in Morningside-Meadows align with broader national patterns of slowly increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the neighborhood's rate of diversification appears to be slower than many urban and suburban areas across the United States, which have seen more rapid demographic shifts over the same period. The economic volatility experienced in the mid-2010s, followed by recovery and stabilization, mirrors patterns seen in many communities recovering from the effects of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic rebuilding.
Morningside-Meadows remains a predominantly white, low-diversity neighborhood, but there are subtle signs of demographic change. The community appears to be in the early stages of a transition towards greater diversity, coupled with recent economic stability. These trends suggest a gradual evolution of the neighborhood's character, potentially leading to more significant demographic and economic shifts in the coming years.
