Narcoossee Groves, a neighborhood in Orlando, Florida, currently presents as a community with Moderate Diversity. As of 2022, the area has a population of 1,028 with a median income of $86,738. The neighborhood has experienced significant growth over the past decade, both in population and economic terms. Narcoossee Groves is located near Lake Nona, a rapidly developing area of Orlando with substantial investment in medical and technological industries, potentially influencing the neighborhood's demographic and economic shifts.
In 2013, Narcoossee Groves was categorized as having a White Majority, with 52% of the population identifying as white. Over the past decade, the neighborhood has transitioned towards greater diversity. By 2022, the community had shifted to a Moderate Diversity classification, with no single racial group constituting a majority. The Hispanic population has consistently been the second-largest group, growing from 31% in 2013 to 36% in 2022, while the white population decreased from 52% to 42%.
This transition was gradual, with the community moving through various stages. From 2015 to 2019, it was classified as a Majority-Minority community, as the combined minority populations exceeded 50%. The years 2020 and 2021 saw a brief return to a White Majority, before settling into its current Moderate Diversity status in 2022.
The demographic shifts in Narcoossee Groves have been accompanied by significant economic growth. The median income has risen from $68,532 in 2013 to $86,738 in 2022, representing a 26.6% increase. This economic growth appears to correlate with the increasing diversity of the neighborhood.
The population has grown substantially, from 361 in 2013 to 1,028 in 2022, a 184.8% increase. This rapid population growth, combined with rising incomes, suggests that Narcoossee Groves has become an increasingly attractive area for diverse, upwardly mobile families and individuals.
The trends observed in Narcoossee Groves align with broader patterns seen in many growing suburban areas across the United States. The increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, reflects national demographic shifts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hispanic population has been one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the country.
The economic growth in Narcoossee Groves outpaces national averages. While the U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022 (adjusted for inflation), Narcoossee Groves saw a much more substantial increase of 26.6%. This suggests that the neighborhood is experiencing particularly robust economic development, likely influenced by its proximity to Orlando's growing industries and the Lake Nona area.
The rapid population growth in Narcoossee Groves also exceeds typical suburban growth rates, indicating that it's part of a particularly dynamic and expanding region of Orlando. This growth may be attributed to factors such as job opportunities in nearby economic centers, desirable living conditions, or strategic urban planning initiatives.
Narcoossee Groves has transformed over the past decade from a predominantly white community to one of Moderate Diversity, accompanied by significant population growth and economic prosperity. These changes reflect broader national trends towards increased diversity in suburban areas, but the intensity of growth and economic improvement suggests that Narcoossee Groves is part of a particularly vibrant and rapidly developing region of Orlando.
