Apollo Beach in Florida exhibited a moderately diverse community with a white plurality as of 2022. The demographic composition showed whites at 60%, Hispanics at 19%, and Blacks at 14%. The median income was $90,076, and the population was 30,847, suggesting a growing, relatively affluent suburban area.
From 2013 to 2022, Apollo Beach transitioned from a community with low diversity and a clear white majority to a more diverse, transitional community. In 2013, whites comprised 73% of the population, decreasing to 60% by 2022, while Hispanic and Black populations grew significantly. The community progressed towards the "Moderate Diversity" category, with three racial groups (White, Hispanic, and Black) having significant representation (over 10% each).
Concurrent with increasing diversity, Apollo Beach experienced substantial economic growth. The median income increased from $77,546 in 2013 to $90,076 in 2022, a rise of approximately 16%. This growth coincided with a significant population increase from 17,367 in 2013 to 30,847 in 2022, nearly doubling in size.
The correlation between increasing diversity and rising median income suggests that the area has been attracting affluent newcomers from various racial backgrounds. This trend could indicate broader economic opportunities in the region or the development of new, desirable housing options.
The trends observed in Apollo Beach align with broader patterns seen in many growing suburban areas across the United States. The increasing diversity and rising incomes often reflect the expansion of metropolitan areas and the movement of diverse, middle to upper-middle-class families to suburban communities.
Based on the observed trends, Apollo Beach is likely to continue its trajectory towards greater diversity. Predictions suggest that the community will likely transition fully into the "Moderate Diversity" category within the next 5-10 years, with the white population potentially dropping below 55% and Hispanic and Black populations continuing to grow. There is a possibility of moving towards "High Diversity" in the longer term if the growth rates of minority populations continue and the Asian population (currently at 3%) also increases.
Economically, the area is likely to maintain its affluence, with median incomes potentially continuing to rise, albeit possibly at a slower rate as the community reaches a more stable demographic composition. The population growth rate may slow down as available land for new development becomes scarcer, but the area is likely to continue attracting diverse, middle to upper-middle-class residents.
Apollo Beach exemplifies a transitional community moving from low diversity to moderate diversity, accompanied by significant economic growth. This evolution reflects broader trends of suburban diversification and expansion seen in many parts of the United States.
