The West Grove is has one of the lowest average incomes in Miami as a neighborhood, within some areas an average income of 26,000. Compared to a few streets over, the White Grove has an average income of over 250,000 dollars and an average property value of at least 1,000,000 dollars. In 1990, the City of Miami created a report on the low-income neighborhoods. In the West Grove, 70% of children were below the poverty level, 39% of residents earned less than ten-thousand dollars a year, and 64% of residents had not continued their education after high school (with 30% having dropped out). While the White section of the has flourished since the West Grove has missed out on much of the economic boom that has been seen. A large cause of this was the large increase in crime and drugs brought out by the increase of the drug trade going through South Florida. Thus, many visitors to the Grove have been reluctant in visiting the businesses in the West Grove. There has also been a culture clash between both sections of the Grove. The West Grove has often tried to keep its Bahamian identity, but the East Grove has not always been as proud of the Grove's roots. When the local Goombay festival attempted to expand into the "wealthier part of the Grove" it faced a large opposition from whites. This culture clash is very prevalent in the push to gentrify the West Grove while many residents have opposed this and instead wanted their economy to prosper and not be pushed out of the neighborhood.
