Harbor Bluffs, Florida, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community. As of 2022, the white population comprises 87% of the total 5,506 residents. The median income is $89,484. Over the past decade, Harbor Bluffs has maintained its "Low Diversity" status, with minor changes in racial composition. The white population decreased from 93% in 2013 to 87% in 2022. The Black population increased from 1% to 4%, and the Hispanic population grew from 3% to 5%. The Asian population remained stable at 2-3%.
The median income in Harbor Bluffs has shown an overall upward trend. It increased from $78,882 in 2013 to $92,128 in 2021, before decreasing slightly to $89,484 in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, ranging from about 4,500 to 5,900 residents over the decade. The increasing median income correlates with the slight increase in diversity, suggesting that the community may be attracting more affluent minorities.
The trends in Harbor Bluffs align with broader national patterns of slow but steady diversification in suburban areas. However, the community remains significantly less diverse than the national average, particularly for Florida, which is known for its multicultural population.
Based on observed trends, Harbor Bluffs is likely to continue slow diversification over the next decade. However, it is unlikely to transition out of the "Low Diversity" category in the near future. If current trends continue, the white population may decrease to 80-85% by 2030. Hispanic and Black populations might reach 7-8% each. A slight increase in the Asian population and those identifying as two or more races may occur.
Economically, the area is likely to maintain its affluent status, with median incomes potentially continuing to rise. This could attract more diverse, high-income professionals, potentially accelerating the diversification process.
These changes are not likely to be significant enough to shift Harbor Bluffs into a new category within the next decade. However, if the pace of diversification accelerates, the community could potentially transition towards a "Moderate Diversity" classification in the longer term, particularly if the white population drops below 75% and other racial groups gain more significant representation.
