Tucker, Georgia, exhibits moderate diversity with a Black plurality. As of 2022, the population is 50,300, with a median income of $79,810. The racial composition shows African Americans at 36% and White residents at 44%, with no single group exceeding 50%.
Over the past decade, Tucker has maintained its status as a moderately diverse community. From 2013 to 2022, the Black population increased from 33% to 36%, while the White population decreased from 47% to 44%. This shift marks a transition from a White plurality to a Black plurality. The Asian population has remained stable at around 5-6%, while the Hispanic population has grown from 9% to 10%.
The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races doubled from 2% to 4% between 2013 and 2022, indicating a trend towards increased racial mixing. The median income increased from $67,019 in 2013 to $79,810 in 2022, a 19% increase. The population grew from 45,025 in 2013 to 50,300 in 2022, an 11.7% increase.
Despite the overall upward trend in median income, there were fluctuations, with a peak of $85,186 in 2021 before a slight decrease in 2022. This could reflect broader economic conditions or changes in the job market.
Tucker's trends align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas and the growth of majority-minority communities. The city's economic growth also reflects general trends of economic recovery and growth in the post-2008 recession era.
Based on observed trends, Tucker is likely to continue its trajectory towards increased diversity. The city may be approaching a transition to a Majority-Minority status in the near future, given the declining percentage of White residents and the growth of other racial groups.
Economically, if current trends persist, Tucker may see continued income growth, potentially reaching a median income of $85,000-$90,000 within the next five years. This economic prosperity, combined with increasing diversity, could position Tucker as an attractive suburb for a wide range of demographics.
These predictions are based on extrapolation of current trends and could be influenced by unforeseen economic, social, or policy changes at local, state, or national levels.
