The Hispanic community grew from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, indicating a "Transitional Community" aspect. The White population has remained relatively constant, around 17-19% in recent years. These shifts suggest a gradual trend towards increased diversity, though the neighborhood still retains its Black majority status.
The median income in Bordeaux has shown fluctuations and overall growth. From 2013 to 2019, median income fluctuated between $37,346 (2016) and $48,206 (2018). A substantial increase occurred from 2019 to 2020, rising from $42,007 to $61,659. From 2020 to 2022, there was a slight decrease but income maintained at a higher level ($57,700 in 2022).

The demographic stability of Bordeaux contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. While many U.S. cities are experiencing rapid diversification, Bordeaux maintains a strong Black majority. However, the increasing Hispanic population aligns with broader national demographic shifts.
The income growth in Bordeaux, particularly the increase between 2019 and 2020, outpaces national averages for income growth during this period. This could indicate targeted economic development initiatives or changing neighborhood dynamics attracting higher-income residents.
Bordeaux remains a predominantly Black neighborhood, but subtle demographic shifts and economic changes suggest a neighborhood in transition. The challenge for local policymakers and community leaders will be to manage this transition in a way that preserves the neighborhood's cultural heritage while embracing new economic opportunities and increasing diversity.
