Over the past decade, Pine Ridge North has undergone significant demographic changes. From 2013 to 2022, the neighborhood has shown consistent shifts in racial composition, particularly with the Hispanic population. Between 2013 and 2020, the Hispanic population grew from 49% to 60%, briefly achieving Racial Majority status. From 2020 to 2022, a sharp decline in the Hispanic population (60% to 41%) coupled with increases in Black (8% to 17%) and White (23% to 34%) populations shifted the neighborhood back to a Majority-Minority status with Moderate Diversity.
The median income in Pine Ridge North has fluctuated over the past decade. From 2013 to 2014, there was a significant increase from $35,539 to $41,652, coinciding with the growing Hispanic population. From 2015 to 2021, income levels dropped and remained relatively stable around $37,000, despite continued demographic shifts.

The demographic shifts in Pine Ridge North reflect broader trends seen in many Florida communities, particularly the growth of Hispanic populations. The recent rapid diversification may be influenced by factors such as changing housing markets or economic opportunities in the area. The median income, while showing recent improvement, remains below the Florida state median of approximately $57,000 (as of 2021). This disparity suggests that Pine Ridge North faces some economic challenges despite its increasing diversity.
Pine Ridge North has transformed from a neighborhood with a growing Hispanic plurality to a more diversified community over the past decade. These demographic shifts have been accompanied by economic fluctuations, but the area has maintained a relatively stable, though below-average, income level. The recent trend towards increased diversity may present both opportunities and challenges for community cohesion and economic development in the coming years.
