The median income in Avondale has fluctuated over the years, showing an overall upward trend. In 2013, the median income was $35,571, increasing to $38,736 by 2022, representing a modest growth of about 8.9% over the decade. A substantial spike in median income occurred in 2021, reaching $47,471, before dropping back to $38,736 in 2022. This spike coincided with the highest population recorded in the dataset (3,099 in 2021).

The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between about 2,300 and 3,100 residents. The slight increase in population, coupled with the modest income growth and increasing racial diversity, might indicate a gradual gentrification process. The income growth in Avondale, while modest, outpaced the national inflation rate for part of the decade, suggesting some real economic improvement. However, the neighborhood's median income remains below the national median.

The gradual increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the White population in a historically Black neighborhood, is consistent with patterns of urban revitalization and gentrification observed in many cities. The emergence of an Asian population, though small, reflects broader national trends of increasing Asian American populations in diverse urban areas. This could be part of a larger pattern of changing urban demographics across the country.

In conclusion, while Avondale remains a Black Majority, Low Diversity neighborhood, subtle shifts in its demographic and economic landscape over the past decade suggest the early stages of a transition. These changes, if continued, could lead to increased diversity and potentially higher economic prosperity, but also raise questions about maintaining the neighborhood's historical cultural identity and affordability for long-term residents.
