The Community at Bordeaux in Nashville, Tennessee, is a Black Majority neighborhood with a median income of $52,468 as of 2022. The community has maintained its Black Majority status throughout the past decade, with some fluctuations in percentages. This neighborhood is part of the Nashville metropolitan area.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, the Community at Bordeaux has consistently maintained its status as a Black Majority neighborhood. The Black population has ranged from 66% in 2013 to 56% in 2021, always remaining above 50%. Signs of a Transitional Community are evident, particularly regarding the Hispanic population. The Hispanic percentage has grown from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, with a peak of 9% in 2021. This suggests a gradual diversification of the neighborhood.
The White population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 31% and 36% over the decade. The community has seen a slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races, growing from 1% in 2013 to 2% in 2022. These trends indicate a slow but steady move towards increased diversity, though not yet reaching the threshold for High Diversity or Moderate Diversity.
The median income in the Community at Bordeaux has shown considerable fluctuation over the past decade. Starting from $45,925 in 2013, it dipped to $39,990 in 2016 before rising to $55,067 in 2021. The 2022 figure of $52,468 represents a slight decline from the previous year but is still higher than most years in the observed period.
The periods of highest income (2020-2022) coincide with a slight decrease in the Black majority percentage and an increase in the Hispanic population. This could suggest that the influx of Hispanic residents might be associated with higher-income individuals or families, potentially contributing to the overall increase in median income.
The population of the neighborhood has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 703 and 881 residents over the decade. This stability in population, combined with the income fluctuations, suggests that changes in economic conditions may be more related to shifts in individual or household incomes rather than large-scale demographic changes.
The demographic trends in the Community at Bordeaux reflect some broader national trends, particularly the gradual increase in Hispanic population and individuals identifying as two or more races. However, the persistence of a strong Black majority is somewhat unique, as many urban areas across the U.S. have seen more rapid diversification or gentrification leading to significant demographic shifts.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the rise in median income since 2016, align with national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the specific patterns of income change in this neighborhood may be influenced by local factors in the Nashville metropolitan area, such as changes in the job market or housing costs.
In conclusion, while the Community at Bordeaux has maintained its Black Majority status, there are signs of a slowly Transitional Community, particularly with the growth of the Hispanic population. These demographic shifts, coupled with the overall upward trend in median income since 2016, suggest a neighborhood in gradual transition, balancing its established community character with emerging diversity and economic changes.
