Over the past decade, Bee Ridge has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority". However, there are subtle shifts indicating a slow trend towards increased diversity. The white population percentage has decreased from 88% in 2015 to 80% in 2022. The Hispanic population has shown a gradual increase from 9% in 2015 to 14% in 2022. The Asian population has grown from less than 1% in 2015 to 2% in 2022. The category of "Two or More Races" emerged in recent years, reaching 3% by 2022.
The median income in Bee Ridge has shown overall growth, rising from $64,383 in 2015 to $69,601 in 2022, an increase of about 8.1%. This trend correlates with the subtle demographic shifts. The increase in median income coincides with the growth in minority populations, particularly Hispanic and Asian residents. The population has grown from 17,610 in 2015 to 18,661 in 2022, a 6% increase. The peak median income of $73,134 in 2019 correlates with the beginning of more noticeable demographic shifts, including the emergence of the "Two or More Races" category.
The trend towards increased diversity, albeit slow, aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in suburban areas. The steady increase in median income suggests economic stability and growth, which may be attracting a more diverse population. The persistence of a strong white majority (80%) is higher than the national average, indicating that this area is changing more slowly than many other parts of the country in terms of racial diversity. The growth in the Hispanic population (from 9% to 14%) reflects broader trends of Hispanic population growth in many parts of the United States, particularly in the Southeast.
Bee Ridge remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority". Subtle demographic shifts and steady economic growth suggest it may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community". These changes, though gradual, align with broader national trends towards increased diversity in suburban areas. The economic stability of the area, as evidenced by rising median incomes, may continue to attract a more diverse population in the coming years, potentially accelerating this transition.
