Over the past decade, Singer Island has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority." The white population has consistently exceeded 90%. Minor shifts in other racial groups have occurred. The Hispanic population increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2020, then decreased to 3% in 2022. The Asian population grew from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The Black population remained at 0% until 2022, when it increased to 1%.

The median income in Singer Island has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2017, it increased steadily from $93,568 to $114,001, representing 22% growth. From 2018 to 2020, it declined to $98,836, a 13% decrease. In 2021-2022, there was a slight recovery to $99,800. These economic trends do not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed. The neighborhood has maintained its affluent status throughout the period, despite income fluctuations.
Singer Island's demographic composition contrasts with the broader Riviera Beach area, which has a more diverse population. This suggests that Singer Island may be a relatively isolated enclave within the larger city.
The slight increase in diversity, particularly in Hispanic and Asian populations, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many communities. However, the pace of change in Singer Island is much slower than in many other parts of Florida and the United States.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the decline in median income from 2018 to 2020, may be related to broader economic factors such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The subsequent recovery in 2021-2022 suggests resilience in the local economy.
Singer Island has experienced minor demographic shifts and economic fluctuations over the past decade. It has largely maintained its status as a low-diversity, affluent, white-majority community. The slow pace of change in racial composition suggests that significant demographic shifts are unlikely in the near future, barring any major external factors or policy changes.
