Tuckahoe, Virginia, is characterized as a community with Low Diversity, predominantly composed of a White majority (74% in 2022). The area has a high median income of $108,436 as of 2022, indicating an affluent suburb. In 2022, the population was 48,366 with an estimated 18,531 housing units, suggesting a moderately sized, wealthy community.
Over the past decade, Tuckahoe has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community, with the White population remaining above 75% until 2019. However, subtle signs of increasing diversity have emerged. The White population has decreased slightly from 77% in 2014 to 74% in 2022. The Asian population has grown from 4% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The proportion of residents identifying as two or more races has increased from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022.
The median income in Tuckahoe has shown consistent growth, rising from $98,924 in 2013 to $108,436 in 2022, an increase of nearly 10% over the decade. This upward trend in income correlates with the subtle increases in diversity. The population has grown moderately, from 46,642 in 2013 to 48,366 in 2022, indicating a stable and desirable community.
Tuckahoe's demographic trends align with patterns seen in many affluent suburban areas across the United States. These areas often experience gradual increases in diversity as they attract highly educated and high-income individuals from various backgrounds.
Based on observed trends, Tuckahoe is likely to continue its gradual shift towards greater diversity over the next decade. While it may not transition out of the Low Diversity category in the immediate future, it could be categorized as a Transitional Community if current trends accelerate. The community might see continued growth in its Asian population and those identifying as two or more races. If these trends continue, Tuckahoe could potentially move towards Moderate Diversity in the longer term, especially if the White population drops below 70%.
Economically, the area is likely to maintain its affluent status, with median incomes potentially continuing to rise. This economic stability and growth may continue to attract a more diverse population of high-income earners. In conclusion, while Tuckahoe remains a predominantly White, affluent community, subtle demographic shifts suggest a gradual move towards increased diversity. This trend, coupled with consistent economic growth, positions Tuckahoe as a community in the early stages of demographic transition, likely to see more significant changes in the coming decades.
