The Allendale Association neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Florida, exhibits low diversity characteristics with a white population comprising 91% of residents in 2022. This predominantly white community has maintained its racial composition over the past decade, showing minor fluctuations. The neighborhood's median income of $90,915 in 2022 positions it as an affluent area within St. Petersburg. The Allendale Association is known for its historic bungalow-style homes and tree-lined streets.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), The Allendale Association has consistently fallen under the Low Diversity category. The white population has remained the dominant racial group, with percentages ranging from 84% to 94%. There have been no significant transitions between diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition. Subtle changes include the introduction of a small Native American population (6-7%) from 2020 onwards, a minor Hispanic presence (1%) emerging in 2022, and the appearance and disappearance of an "Other" racial category between 2016 and 2020. These minor shifts suggest a slight trend towards increased diversity, albeit at a very slow pace.
The median income in The Allendale Association has shown considerable volatility over the years. There was a sharp decline from $109,354 in 2015 to $34,422 in 2016, followed by a significant recovery to $122,123 in 2019. In recent years (2020-2022), the median income has stabilized around $90,000-$95,000. Despite these fluctuations, the neighborhood has maintained its status as an affluent area. The stability in racial composition suggests that these income changes have not significantly impacted the demographic makeup of the community.
Population figures have remained relatively stable, ranging from 812 to 1,167 residents over the decade. The recent upward trend in population (from 990 in 2019 to 1,167 in 2022) coincides with a period of more stable, high median incomes, potentially indicating increased attractiveness of the neighborhood to new residents.
The persistently high percentage of white residents in The Allendale Association contrasts with broader trends in many urban areas across the United States, which have generally seen increasing diversity over the past decade. St. Petersburg as a whole is known to be more diverse than this particular neighborhood, with a citywide demographic breakdown that includes significant Black and Hispanic populations.
The neighborhood's median income, while fluctuating, has consistently remained above the national median household income (which was about $70,784 in 2021). This suggests that The Allendale Association has maintained its status as an affluent enclave within St. Petersburg, potentially influencing its ability to attract a more diverse population.
The stability in racial composition, coupled with high median incomes, may indicate that The Allendale Association is a well-established, desirable neighborhood that has experienced limited turnover in its resident population. This could be due to factors such as high property values, limited new development, or a strong sense of community among long-term residents.
In conclusion, while The Allendale Association shows signs of very gradual diversification, it remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood that has largely resisted the broader trends of increasing diversity seen in many urban areas across the United States.
