White City, Florida, exhibits demographic characteristics of a "White Majority" community with moderate diversity as of 2022. The neighborhood's racial composition comprises 71% white residents, reflecting its historical background while indicating gradual diversification.

The area has undergone significant economic growth, with median income rising from $39,772 in 2016 to $59,228 in 2022, indicating economic revitalization.
White City has maintained its "White Majority" status from 2013 to 2022. The white population decreased from 74% in 2013 to 71% in 2022. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable at 14-16%. The Black population fluctuated between 7% and 13%, settling at 8% in 2022. Residents identifying as two or more races increased from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. These changes suggest a trend towards "Moderate Diversity" and potentially a "Transitional Community" if trends continue.
The neighborhood has experienced significant economic improvement over the past decade. Median income increased from $48,943 in 2013 to $59,228 in 2022, a 21% increase. A notable decrease in median income occurred between 2014 and 2016, reaching $39,772 in 2016. Since 2016, median income has consistently increased, coinciding with gradual diversity increases. The population grew from 11,440 in 2013 to 15,056 in 2022, a 31.6% increase. This population growth and rising incomes suggest an influx of new residents and potential economic opportunities.
The trend towards increased diversity in White City aligns with broader national trends of growing multiculturalism in many American communities. The 21% income growth in White City over a decade outpaces the national average of 2-3% annual growth in median household income. The population growth of 31.6% over a decade is substantially higher than the U.S. average of 7-8% per decade. These trends indicate that White City is experiencing more rapid demographic and economic changes compared to national averages.
White City remains a "White Majority" community but shows signs of evolving into a more diverse and economically vibrant area. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising incomes suggests that this demographic shift may contribute positively to the local economy. If these trends continue, White City may transition into a more diverse category in the coming years, potentially becoming a model for successful demographic and economic integration in Florida.
