Sutters Landing, a neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida, currently exhibits a profile of Moderate Diversity with a White Majority. As of 2022, the white population comprises 65% of residents, with Hispanic (20%) and Asian (9%) populations forming significant minorities. Over the past decade, the neighborhood has transitioned from low diversity to its current more diverse composition. Sutters Landing's proximity to the University of Florida likely influences its demographic makeup and economic characteristics.
The neighborhood has undergone significant demographic shifts from 2013 to 2022. In 2013, Sutters Landing had Low Diversity with a strong White Majority (77%). Over the decade, the white population declined to 65%, while the Hispanic population increased from 9% to 20%, and the Asian population grew from 6% to 9%. Other racial groups, including Black and multiracial populations, also experienced modest increases. This shift indicates a transition from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity.
The median income in Sutters Landing has fluctuated over the decade. It peaked at $84,492 in 2021, up from $80,814 in 2013, but saw a significant drop to $71,178 in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, ranging from about 2,400 to 3,200 residents. Economic trends show some correlation with demographic shifts. The initial increase in diversity (2013-2016) coincided with a slight decrease in median income. The period of highest diversity (2019-2021) saw a significant increase in median income. The recent drop in income (2022) occurred alongside a slight reversal in diversity trends, with the white population increasing from 61% to 65%.
The demographic changes in Sutters Landing reflect broader national trends towards increasing diversity, particularly in university towns. The growth in Hispanic and Asian populations is consistent with national patterns, though the rate of change in Sutters Landing appears more pronounced.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent drop in median income, may be influenced by factors such as changes in the student population, broader economic trends including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery, and shifts in local industries or employment opportunities.
Sutters Landing has evolved from a predominantly white, low-diversity area to a moderately diverse neighborhood with a still-significant white majority. This transition has been accompanied by fluctuations in median income, suggesting a complex interplay between demographic changes and economic factors. The neighborhood's proximity to a major university likely plays a significant role in these dynamics, potentially making it more susceptible to rapid demographic and economic shifts compared to other areas of Gainesville or similar-sized cities nationwide.
