New Dorp Beach, a neighborhood in Staten Island, New York, has experienced significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. The area has transitioned from a "White Majority" community to a "Transitional Community" with "Moderate Diversity." In 2013, the white population comprised 73% of the neighborhood. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 51%, maintaining a slight majority. Concurrently, the Asian population increased from 5% to 22%, and the Hispanic population grew from 20% to 21%.
The neighborhood's economic indicators have shown an upward trend during this period. The median income rose from $81,651 in 2013 to $82,863 in 2022, with a peak of $94,824 in 2021. This increase in median income coincides with the increasing diversity of the neighborhood. The population of New Dorp Beach has also experienced fluctuations, with an overall increase from 3,960 in 2013 to 4,655 in 2022.
The demographic changes in New Dorp Beach align with broader trends observed in many urban and suburban areas across the United States, where traditionally white-majority neighborhoods are becoming more diverse. The increase in Asian and Hispanic populations is consistent with national trends of growing diversity, particularly in coastal urban areas.
The economic resilience of the neighborhood is evident in the generally increasing median income, despite challenges faced by coastal communities such as the impact of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. This suggests that New Dorp Beach has recovered from such setbacks and has attracted new residents who have contributed to its economic vitality.
The transition towards greater diversity in New Dorp Beach, combined with economic growth, indicates a neighborhood in flux. As it moves towards potentially becoming a "Majority-Minority" community in the future, the continued impact of these changes on the local economy, community dynamics, and physical landscape of this coastal neighborhood remains to be observed.
