From 2013 to 2016, South Dixie maintained moderate diversity. The period from 2017 to 2019 saw a shift to Majority-Minority status with Hispanic plurality. Between 2020 and 2022, this status was solidified, with Hispanic representation reaching 61% in 2020 before settling at 47% in 2022. The Black population increased to 38%, while the White population decreased from 39% to 15% over the decade.

A significant increase occurred from 2020 to 2022, with median income reaching $45,218 in 2020 and $45,546 in 2022.

The population of South Dixie grew from 1,905 in 2013 to 3,002 in 2022, indicating increased attractiveness or development in the area. This growth may be linked to the neighborhood's increasing diversity.
The demographic changes in South Dixie reflect broader trends in Florida and other parts of the United States, where Hispanic populations have been growing rapidly. Despite recent economic improvements, the neighborhood's median income remains below the Florida state median of approximately $62,000 in 2022.
The transition to a Majority-Minority community with a strong Hispanic presence is characteristic of many urban areas in Florida. This reflects both internal migration patterns and international immigration. The recent economic upturn could signal a positive trajectory for this diverse community.
The rapid demographic changes and economic improvements raise questions about potential gentrification pressures and their effects on long-term residents. Maintaining affordable housing and ensuring equitable economic opportunities for all racial groups will be crucial for preserving the neighborhood's diverse character and promoting inclusive growth.
