Grovewood Homeowners Association in Clearwater, Florida, is characterized by low diversity with a strong White majority, comprising 82% of the population in 2022. The neighborhood has experienced economic fluctuations over the past decade, with median income increasing from $63,866 in 2019 to $82,051 in 2022. This area maintains a relatively stable racial composition in a state known for increasing diversity, suggesting it may be an established, older community resistant to demographic shifts.
The neighborhood has consistently maintained its status as a White majority community from 2013 to 2022. The White population increased from 77% to 88% between 2013 and 2018, further solidifying its low diversity classification. Post-2018, there has been a minor decline in the White population, dropping from 88% to 82% by 2022. This shift suggests a potential trend towards slightly increased diversity.
The Black population has seen the most significant growth, rising from 0% in 2018 to 12% in 2022, indicating a possible emerging moderate diversity trend. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 5-15% over the decade, showing no clear trend but maintaining a consistent minority presence. Asian representation has declined from a peak of 13% in 2013 to 0% in 2022, countering the overall trend towards increased diversity.
The neighborhood's economic trajectory has been volatile but generally positive. Median income dropped sharply from $82,414 in 2013 to $35,249 in 2014, coinciding with a slight increase in the White population. From 2014 to 2021, there was a general upward trend in median income, peaking at $94,999 in 2021. This period aligns with the gradual increase in racial diversity. The most recent data shows a slight decline in median income to $82,051 in 2022, occurring simultaneously with the highest recorded Black population (12%). Population figures have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 492 and 697 residents, with a slight upward trend in recent years.
Grovewood Homeowners Association appears to be maintaining its predominantly White demographic, while Florida as a whole has been experiencing increasing diversity. However, the recent increase in the Black population suggests the neighborhood may be starting to reflect broader state trends, albeit at a slower pace. The economic volatility seen in this neighborhood, particularly the sharp drop and subsequent recovery of median income, is not typical of broader state or national trends. This suggests local factors have played a significant role in shaping its economic landscape.
In conclusion, while Grovewood Homeowners Association has maintained its status as a low diversity, White majority community over the past decade, recent trends suggest a potential shift towards moderate diversity. The economic trajectory, marked by significant fluctuations, appears to be generally improving, which may be attracting a more diverse population. These changes, though gradual, may signal the beginning of a transition that could reshape the neighborhood's character in the coming years.
