The Seminole neighborhood in Semmes, Alabama, exhibits characteristics of a Low Diversity community with a White Majority comprising 82% of the population as of 2022. The median income of $58,933 in 2022 indicates a middle-class suburban area. Semmes was incorporated in 2011, making it one of Alabama's newest cities.
Over the past decade, Seminole has maintained its status as a White Majority community. From 2013 to 2017, there was a decrease in the white population from 88% to 74%, suggesting a trend towards Moderate Diversity. Post-2017, there was a reversal of this trend, with the white population increasing again to 82% by 2022, reinforcing its Low Diversity status. The Black population has shown fluctuation, rising from 7% in 2013 to a peak of 18% in 2022.
The neighborhood's economic trajectory correlates with its demographic shifts. From 2013 to 2019, there was a decline in median income from $46,288 to $42,721. A significant economic upturn occurred from 2019 to 2021, with median income rising to $62,659. The population has grown from 324 in 2013 to 426 in 2022.
Seminole's demographic shifts reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the reversal of this trend in recent years is somewhat atypical and may be influenced by local factors specific to this newly incorporated city.
The economic growth seen in recent years, particularly the sharp increase in median income from 2019 to 2021, outpaces national averages. This could be attributed to the city's recent incorporation and potential investments in infrastructure or economic development initiatives.
The neighborhood's low population density, estimated at about 2.6 people per housing unit (based on the 2022 population and estimated housing units), aligns with typical suburban patterns but may indicate potential for future growth and development.
Seminole has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community, experiencing subtle demographic shifts and significant economic improvements over the past decade. These changes, set against the backdrop of Semmes's recent incorporation, indicate an evolving suburban community that may continue to see demographic and economic changes as it establishes its identity within Alabama.
