Euclid Green, a neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority." As of 2022, the African American population comprises 80% of residents, categorizing it as a "Black Majority" neighborhood. The median income in 2022 was $27,772, which is below the national average. Euclid Green is located near the Cleveland Metroparks' Euclid Creek Reservation.
Over the past decade, Euclid Green has maintained its status as a "Black Majority" neighborhood. The African American population percentage has decreased from 89% in 2013 to 80% in 2022. The white population has increased from 9% in 2013 to 14% in 2022. Other racial groups have shown slight increases. Despite these changes, the neighborhood remains in the "Low Diversity" category.
The median income in Euclid Green has fluctuated but generally remained low. From 2013 to 2022, the median income decreased from $28,635 to $27,772. The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 10,110 in 2013 to 10,402 in 2022.
The demographic trends in Euclid Green reflect broader national patterns of increased diversity in urban areas, albeit at a slower pace. The persistent low income levels in Euclid Green are notable, especially when compared to national trends of modest income growth in the post-2008 recession era.
The neighborhood's slow transition towards increased diversity, while maintaining a strong African American majority, suggests a community in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community." This transition is occurring at a slower rate compared to many other urban neighborhoods across the country.
The economic stagnation in Euclid Green, as evidenced by the relatively unchanged median income over a decade, contrasts with the general economic recovery seen in many parts of the United States following the 2008 recession. This disparity highlights the ongoing challenges faced by many predominantly African American urban neighborhoods in achieving economic growth and attracting diverse populations.
Euclid Green shows early signs of demographic change but remains a predominantly African American neighborhood facing significant economic challenges. The slow pace of diversification and stagnant income levels suggest that targeted economic development initiatives may be necessary to foster growth and improve living standards for residents in this Cleveland community.
