Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics

When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting. Some places look the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups. This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.

People

Single parenting is hard. But you don't have to tell the Malibu Groves neighborhood about it; they already know. 23.2% of this neighborhood's households are run by single mothers, which is a higher concentration than NeighborhoodScout found in 98.4% of American neighborhoods. Further NeighborhoodScout research showed strong statistical correlations among high rates of children living in single parent households, and neighborhood crime, particularly violent crime, neighborhood poverty, and, importantly, the percentage of low weight births and rates of infant mortality.

Diversity

Did you know that the Malibu Groves neighborhood has more Haitian and Jamaican ancestry people living in it than nearly any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 9.7% of this neighborhood's residents have Haitian ancestry and 8.4% have Jamaican ancestry.

Malibu Groves is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 13.0% of its residents five years old and above primarily speak French at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher than 99.4% of the neighborhoods in America.

The Neighbors

There are two complementary measures for understanding the income of a neighborhood's residents: the average and the extremes. While a neighborhood may be relatively wealthy overall, it is equally important to understand the rate of people - particularly children - who are living at or below the federal poverty line, which is extremely low income. Some neighborhoods with a lower average income may actually have a lower childhood poverty rate than another with a higher average income, and this helps us understand the conditions and character of a neighborhood.

The neighbors in the Malibu Groves neighborhood in Orlando are low income, making it among the lowest income neighborhoods in America. NeighborhoodScout's research shows that this neighborhood has an income lower than 86.2% of U.S. neighborhoods. With 20.0% of the children here below the federal poverty line, this neighborhood has a higher rate of childhood poverty than 68.8% of U.S. neighborhoods.

The old saying "you are what you eat" is true. But it is also true that you are what you do for a living. The types of occupations your neighbors have shape their character, and together as a group, their collective occupations shape the culture of a place.

In the Malibu Groves neighborhood, 31.1% of the working population is employed in manufacturing and laborer occupations. The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is sales and service jobs, from major sales accounts, to working in fast food restaurants, with 25.2% of the residents employed. Other residents here are employed in executive, management, and professional occupations (22.5%), and 21.2% in clerical, assistant, and tech support occupations.

The most common language spoken in the Malibu Groves neighborhood is English, spoken by 69.1% of households. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish, French and African languages.

Ethnicity / Ancestry

Culture is shared learned behavior. We learn it from our parents, their parents, our houses of worship, and much of our culture – our learned behavior – comes from our ancestors. That is why ancestry and ethnicity can be so interesting and important to understand: places with concentrations of people of one or more ancestries often express those shared learned behaviors and this gives each neighborhood its own culture. Even different neighborhoods in the same city can have drastically different cultures.

In the Malibu Groves neighborhood in Orlando, FL, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as Haitian (9.7%). There are also a number of people of Jamaican ancestry (8.4%), and residents who report Puerto Rican roots (5.6%), and some of the residents are also of South American ancestry (5.6%), along with some Asian ancestry residents (2.1%), among others. In addition, 19.4% of the residents of this neighborhood were born in another country.

Getting to Work

How you get to work – car, bus, train or other means – and how much of your day it takes to do so is a large quality of life and financial issue. Especially with gasoline prices rising and expected to continue doing so, the length and means of one's commute can be a financial burden. Some neighborhoods are physically located so that many residents have to drive in their own car, others are set up so many walk to work, or can take a train, bus, or bike. The greatest number of commuters in Malibu Groves neighborhood spend under 15 minutes commuting one-way to work (35.8% of working residents), one of the shortest commutes across America.
