Harbor Isle is known for its waterfront properties and proximity to beaches, contributing to its high property values.
Over the past decade, Harbor Isle has maintained its Low Diversity status, with the White population remaining above 75%. The White population percentage decreased from 93% in 2018 to 87% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 0% in 2018 to 4% in 2022. Black and Hispanic populations have remained relatively stable with slight fluctuations.

In 2022, there was a substantial drop to $80,151. The population has remained relatively stable throughout these income fluctuations.
The recent income decline coincides with the slight increase in diversity, which could indicate changing economic dynamics within the community or broader economic shifts affecting high-income areas. Even with the recent decline, Harbor Isle's median income remains above the national average, indicating it is still an affluent area within the broader context of St. Petersburg and Florida.
The slow increase in diversity, particularly the growth in the Asian population, aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and traditionally homogeneous communities. Despite the recent income drop, the area's continued high median income suggests economic resilience, possibly due to its desirable location and established community status.
Harbor Isle remains a predominantly White, affluent neighborhood. Subtle shifts in demographics and recent economic fluctuations suggest a community in the early stages of transition. These changes, though gradual, may signal broader socio-economic shifts that could reshape the neighborhood's character in the coming years. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for understanding the long-term trajectory of this coastal community.
