North-East Coconut Grove, a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, has a population of 12,341 as of 2022 with a median income of $134,759. The neighborhood is classified as having "Moderate Diversity" with a significant Hispanic plurality. Over the past decade, North-East Coconut Grove has experienced a transition in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood had a "White Majority" with 57% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, this shifted to a "Moderate Diversity" classification with no single racial group holding a majority.
The Hispanic population increased from 38% in 2013 to 44% in 2022, establishing a Hispanic plurality. The white population decreased from 57% to 45%. Asian and Black populations both grew from 1% in 2013 to 4% each in 2022. These changes indicate a trend towards increased diversity in the neighborhood.
The demographic shifts have occurred alongside economic changes. The median income increased from $107,437 in 2013 to $134,759 in 2022, a rise of about 25%. The population grew from 11,929 in 2013 to 12,341 in 2022. This growth in population and income suggests gentrification while maintaining multicultural character.
The trends in North-East Coconut Grove align with patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States, where traditionally white-majority neighborhoods are becoming more diverse. The growth of the Hispanic population reflects Miami's position as a major Hispanic cultural center in the U.S.
The neighborhood's economic trajectory outpaces national trends. The U.S. median household income grew by about 13% between 2013 and 2021, while North-East Coconut Grove's growth of 25% in a similar timeframe is higher, indicating a strong economic transformation.
North-East Coconut Grove exemplifies a "Transitional Community," evolving from a white-majority area to one of moderate diversity with a strong Hispanic influence. This transition, coupled with significant economic growth, suggests a dynamic neighborhood that is likely to continue changing in the coming years, potentially moving towards greater diversity and affluence.
