Stirling Commercial has undergone significant demographic transitions over the past decade. In 2013, it was categorized as Low Diversity with a White Majority (75%). By 2017, it shifted to a Transitional Community, with the white population decreasing to 66% and the Hispanic population growing to 28%. The most significant change occurred between 2019 and 2020, transitioning from a Hispanic Plurality (52% in 2019) to a Majority-Minority status. This change was marked by an increase in the Black population from 8% to 30%, while the Hispanic population decreased from 52% to 32%. Since 2020, the neighborhood has maintained its Moderate Diversity status.
The demographic shifts in Stirling Commercial correlate with economic changes. The median income remained relatively stable between 2013 and 2019, around $30,000-$37,000. Coinciding with the demographic shift in 2020, there was a significant increase in median income, rising from $37,152 in 2019 to $51,961 in 2020. This economic improvement has been maintained through 2022. The neighborhood's population has also fluctuated, with a notable increase from 1,782 in 2019 to 2,408 in 2020, aligning with the demographic and economic shifts.
The demographic shifts observed in Stirling Commercial reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where traditionally white-majority neighborhoods are becoming more diverse. The rapid increase in the Black population between 2019 and 2020 is noteworthy and may require further investigation to understand specific local factors that contributed to this change.
The significant increase in median income since 2020 outpaces national trends. While the U.S. saw median household income growth during this period, the jump in Stirling Commercial was more pronounced. This could indicate targeted economic development efforts or changes in the local job market, possibly related to the area's commercial focus.
The neighborhood's evolution from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity over a decade reflects a broader national trend towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity in urban and suburban areas. The rapidity and extent of these changes in Stirling Commercial suggest local factors are also at play, potentially related to its commercial nature and specific development initiatives in Hollywood or the broader South Florida region.
