Parkland Estates in Tampa, Florida, is a predominantly White Majority neighborhood with a high median income. As of 2022, the community is categorized as "Low Diversity," with 81% of the population identifying as white. The neighborhood is characterized by luxurious homes and tree-lined streets, reflecting its status as one of Tampa's most affluent areas.
Over the past decade, Parkland Estates has maintained its status as a White Majority community, but with some notable shifts. From 2013 to 2019, the neighborhood consistently fell under the "Low Diversity" category, with the white population ranging from 86% to 92%. Starting in 2020, there has been a subtle shift towards increased diversity. While still categorized as "Low Diversity," the white population decreased to 88% in 2020 and further to 81% in 2022.
The data from 2020 to 2022 suggests Parkland Estates may be entering a phase as a "Transitional Community." This is evidenced by the increasing representation of Hispanic residents (from 4% to 7%) and those identifying as two or more races (from 4% to 9%).
The neighborhood has maintained its status as a high-income area throughout the decade. The median income has fluctuated, ranging from a low of $135,030 in 2019 to a high of $179,803 in 2021. Despite these fluctuations, the area consistently remains well above national median income levels. The population has grown steadily from 2,270 in 2013 to 2,935 in 2022, indicating the neighborhood's continued desirability. The slight increase in diversity from 2020 onwards coincides with some of the highest median income figures in the decade. This suggests that the increasing diversity has not negatively impacted the neighborhood's economic status.
With median incomes consistently above $150,000, Parkland Estates likely ranks among the most affluent neighborhoods not just in Tampa, but nationally. The gradual increase in diversity, while notable for the neighborhood, is likely slower than broader national trends towards increased diversity in urban areas. The consistent high incomes and growing population suggest that property values in Parkland Estates have likely remained strong or appreciated over the decade, possibly outpacing many other areas in Tampa or nationally.
Parkland Estates represents a stable, affluent, predominantly white neighborhood that is showing early signs of increased diversity. This gradual shift, coupled with maintained high incomes, suggests a controlled and economically robust transition that may continue in the coming years, potentially moving the area from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" if current trends persist.
