Bayshore, located in North Carolina, is a predominantly White Majority community with Low Diversity. As of 2022, the neighborhood's racial composition is 93% white, with a median income of $105,659. Bayshore has experienced significant income fluctuations over the past decade, particularly notable for its sharp increase in median income between 2019 and 2021.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Bayshore has consistently maintained its status as a White Majority community with Low Diversity. The white population has remained above 88% throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations. There have been subtle shifts in the minority populations. The Black Population increased from 0% in 2013 to a peak of 5% in 2020, before decreasing to 1% in 2022. The Hispanic Population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1-3% throughout the period.

The median income in Bayshore has shown an upward trend. From 2013 to 2019, there was a steady increase from $79,325 to $96,155. In 2020-2021, there was a sharp rise to $133,725 in 2020 and $146,540 in 2021. In 2022, there was a decrease to $105,659, still higher than pre-2020 levels. This economic growth correlates with subtle demographic shifts. The period of highest income growth (2020-2021) coincides with the highest percentage of Black residents and an increase in residents identifying as two or more races.
Population trends show fluctuations, with a notable increase from 4,126 in 2015 to 5,656 in 2019, followed by a decrease to 4,462 in 2022. These population changes do not seem to directly correlate with racial composition shifts but may be influenced by broader economic factors.
Bayshore's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The community's median income ($105,659 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median household income (approximately $70,784 in 2021), indicating that Bayshore is an affluent area. The sharp income increase in 2020-2021 could be related to broader economic trends during the COVID-19 pandemic, where some high-income areas saw increased wealth concentration. The subsequent decrease in 2022 might reflect a normalization or correction in the local economy.
While Bayshore remains a White Majority, Low Diversity community, subtle shifts in minority populations and significant income fluctuations suggest a dynamic local economy. The community appears to be maintaining its affluent status while experiencing minor increases in diversity, potentially positioning it as an attractive location for high-income professionals from various backgrounds.
