The zip code 32081 in Nocatee, Florida, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The area exhibits high median incomes and rapid population growth, indicating an economically prosperous suburb.
Over the past decade, Nocatee has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a white population consistently above 80%. Minor shifts in diversity have occurred, including growth in the Hispanic population from 2% in 2013 to 8% in 2022, stability in the Asian population between 3-7%, and an increase in the "Two or More Races" category from 0% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. Despite these changes, the community remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
The economic trajectory of Nocatee has been positive, with median incomes rising from $98,463 in 2013 to $125,659 in 2022, representing a 27.6% growth. The population has increased from 4,886 in 2013 to 20,441 in 2022, a 318% increase. This economic and population growth correlates with the maintenance of the area's racial composition.
Nocatee appears to differ from national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Its rapid growth and high incomes suggest it may be experiencing what is sometimes termed "white flight in reverse," where affluent white families move to new suburban developments.
The median household income in Nocatee ($125,659 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median ($70,784 in 2021), indicating an affluent community. This economic prosperity may be a factor in maintaining the area's demographic composition, as high housing costs could potentially limit diversity.
In conclusion, while Nocatee shows some signs of increasing diversity, it remains a "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The area's rapid growth and increasing affluence appear to be reinforcing these demographic patterns. As the community continues to develop, it remains to be seen if these trends persist or if the subtle shifts towards greater diversity accelerate in the coming years.
