Over the past decade, The Brooks has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. There are indications of a gradual shift towards becoming a Transitional Community. The percentage of white residents has decreased from 93% in 2013 to 83% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has increased from 2% to 12% during the same period. This trend suggests a slow but steady diversification of the neighborhood.
The Asian population has increased slightly from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The community has begun to see representation from residents identifying as two or more races, growing from 0% to 2% over the decade. Despite these changes, the neighborhood remains predominantly white and has not yet reached the threshold for categorization as a Moderate Diversity area.
The median income in The Brooks has fluctuated over the years. It peaked at $105,532 in 2016 and has since declined to $88,220 in 2022. This downward trend in median income coincides with the increasing racial diversity of the neighborhood. The median income remains above the national average, indicating that The Brooks continues to attract affluent residents despite the demographic changes.
The population growth from 6,563 in 2010 to 7,828 in 2022 suggests that the neighborhood remains desirable and is attracting new residents. This population growth, coupled with the increasing diversity, may indicate that younger, more diverse families are moving into what was traditionally a retirement-focused community.
The gradual diversification of The Brooks aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and exurban areas. The pace of change in this neighborhood appears to be slower than in many other parts of the country. The high median income and the continued white majority suggest that The Brooks may be experiencing a more gradual transition compared to national averages.
The increasing Hispanic population in The Brooks mirrors trends seen across Florida and the broader Sunbelt region. The consistently low representation of Black residents (0% throughout the decade) diverges from racial composition trends in many other parts of Florida and the Southeast United States.
The Brooks remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community with high median incomes, but shows early signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. This gradual shift, particularly the growth in the Hispanic population, suggests that the neighborhood may be slowly aligning with broader demographic trends seen across Florida and the nation. The pace of change remains relatively slow, and the area maintains its character as an affluent, predominantly white community.
