Over the past decade, Florham Park has maintained its status as a "White Majority" area. However, subtle shifts suggest a gradual trend towards increased diversity. The white population decreased slightly from 75% in 2013 to 74% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 10% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. The Asian population decreased from 14% in 2013 to 10% in 2022. The Black population increased from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category emerged, growing from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022.
These changes are not significant enough to shift the area out of the "White Majority" and "Low Diversity" categories, but they indicate a slow transition towards greater diversity. The community shows early signs of becoming a "Transitional Community," particularly with the growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations.
The median income in Florham Park has fluctuated over the decade but generally trended upward. It rose from $127,413 in 2013 to a peak of $142,015 in 2019. There was a slight decline to $129,819 in 2022. Despite these fluctuations, the area has consistently maintained a high median income, indicating a stable, affluent community. This economic stability may have contributed to the gradual nature of demographic changes, as high property values could limit rapid shifts in population composition.
The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 11,383 in 2013 to 11,235 in 2022. This stability, combined with the high median income, suggests a community that is resistant to rapid demographic change but is slowly becoming more diverse.
Florham Park's demographic trends align with broader national patterns of slow but steady increases in diversity, particularly in suburban areas. The high median income and predominantly white population are characteristic of many affluent suburban communities in the Northeast United States. The gradual increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations reflects national trends of growing diversity in suburban areas. However, the decrease in the Asian population is somewhat contrary to national trends, which have generally seen increases in Asian populations in suburban areas.
Florham Park remains a "White Majority" area with "Low Diversity," but there are signs of a slow transition towards greater diversity. The community's high median income and stable population suggest that any demographic changes are likely to continue at a gradual pace. The area represents a typical affluent suburban community experiencing slowly increasing diversity while maintaining its economic status.
