Fish Hawk, Florida, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." As of 2022, the white population comprises 66% of the total, while the city has a median income of $104,634. This suburb has experienced growth over the past decade, with its population increasing from 13,108 in 2010 to 25,462 in 2022.
Over the past decade, Fish Hawk has been transitioning from a "Low Diversity" community towards "Moderate Diversity." In 2013, the white population constituted 80% of the total. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to 66%, indicating a gradual shift towards greater diversity.
The Hispanic population has increased from 11% in 2013 to 15% in 2022. The Asian and Black populations have also increased, from 2% to 6% and 5% to 7%, respectively. This trend suggests that Fish Hawk is becoming a "Transitional Community," with increasing representation from various racial groups.
As the community has become more diverse, it has maintained its affluent status. The median income has risen from $103,875 in 2013 to $104,634 in 2022, with a peak of $115,795 in 2021. This suggests that the increasing diversity has not negatively impacted the area's economic prosperity.
The trends observed in Fish Hawk align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. Many affluent suburbs across the United States have experienced similar demographic shifts, often driven by factors such as job opportunities, quality of life, and good schools attracting diverse populations.
Based on the observed trends, Fish Hawk is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. If current trends persist, within the next 5-10 years, the community may transition from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity." The white population may decrease below 60%, while Hispanic, Asian, and Black populations continue to grow.
Economically, the area is likely to maintain its affluent status, given the consistent high median income despite demographic changes. This suggests that the incoming diverse population is likely skilled professionals contributing to the local economy.
Fish Hawk represents a "Transitional Community" moving from "Low Diversity" to potentially "Moderate Diversity" while maintaining high economic standards. This evolution reflects broader national trends of increasing diversity in affluent suburbs and suggests a future where Fish Hawk may become a model of successful integration of diversity and economic prosperity.
