Collier City, a neighborhood in Pompano Beach, Florida, represents a "Racial Majority" community with a predominantly Black population of 72% in 2022. The area has maintained this demographic profile over the past decade with minor shifts in composition. The neighborhood has experienced significant income growth, with median income increasing from $26,652 in 2013 to $42,979 in 2022, indicating improved economic conditions.
Over the past decade, Collier City has consistently maintained its status as a "Racial Majority" community, with the Black population remaining the dominant demographic group. There has been a slight decrease in the Black population from 82% in 2013 to 72% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 6% in 2013 to 13% in 2022. The "two or more races" category grew from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. These shifts suggest a trend towards increased diversity, though not enough to change the neighborhood's overall categorization.
The neighborhood has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. Median income increased by 61% from 2013 to 2022. The most substantial income growth occurred between 2015 and 2016, with a 17.9% increase. Despite some fluctuations, the overall trend shows consistent income improvement. This economic growth correlates with the slight diversification of the population.
The income growth in Collier City outpaces the national average. The U.S. median household income grew by about 27% from 2013 to 2022, compared to Collier City's 61% growth. The neighborhood's racial composition differs significantly from national averages. As of 2022, the U.S. population was approximately 13.6% Black, while Collier City remains predominantly Black at 72%. The gradual increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in many urban areas.
Collier City presents a case of a predominantly Black community experiencing economic growth and subtle demographic shifts. While it remains a "Racial Majority" area, the trends suggest a potential future transition towards greater diversity. The correlation between economic improvement and increasing diversity merits further study and could provide insights into effective community development strategies for similar neighborhoods.
