The neighborhood has moderate diversity, with a white population of 71%, Hispanic population of 13%, and Black population of 6%. The neighborhood has experienced substantial fluctuations in population over the past decade.
From 2013 to 2022, Winsor Park transitioned from a Low Diversity community to a more moderately diverse neighborhood. The most significant shift occurred between 2014 and 2015, when the Hispanic population increased from 0% to 27%. Over the following years, the community maintained its Moderate Diversity status, with the white population consistently above 65% but below 75%. The Hispanic population has fluctuated but remained a significant minority, while the Black population has gradually increased from 2% to 6%.
The neighborhood's median income has shown considerable volatility. From 2013 to 2017, there was a significant decrease in median income, coinciding with the increase in Hispanic population and overall diversity. From 2018 onwards, there has been a dramatic increase in median income, peaking at $108,267 in 2021 before settling at $83,974 in 2022. This economic upturn coincides with a slight decrease in the Hispanic population percentage and an increase in the white population.
The population has fluctuated significantly, from a low of 449 in 2014 to a high of 1,004 in 2019, before stabilizing around 850 in 2022. These population changes, coupled with income fluctuations, suggest a neighborhood in flux.
The demographic changes in Winsor Park reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The neighborhood's transition from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity, while maintaining a White Majority, is indicative of gradual integration processes seen in many American suburbs.
The significant Hispanic population growth followed by a slight decline mirrors trends in many Florida communities. The recent increase in residents identifying as two or more races aligns with national trends, reflecting growing multiracial families and increased comfort with multiracial identification.
Winsor Park Homeowners Association has undergone a transformation over the past decade, evolving from a homogeneous, predominantly white community to a more diverse neighborhood with significant economic changes. These shifts reflect both local dynamics and broader national trends towards increased suburban diversity and economic volatility.
