Over the past decade, South-West Coconut Grove has transitioned from a community with a White plurality to one with a Hispanic plurality.

The demographic trends in South-West Coconut Grove reflect broader changes seen in Miami and many urban areas across the United States. The growth of the Hispanic population is consistent with national trends, particularly in Florida and other Sunbelt states. The neighborhood's ability to maintain high median incomes during this transition is notable. The slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth in Asian and multiracial populations, aligns with national trends towards increasing racial and ethnic diversity in urban areas.
South-West Coconut Grove exemplifies a Transitional Community that has evolved from a White plurality to a Hispanic plurality while maintaining its economic strength. This transition reflects broader demographic shifts in urban America but with the unique characteristic of preserving high median incomes throughout the process. The neighborhood's evolution presents a case study in how communities can change demographically while retaining their economic status.
