The Fenelon-Hill neighborhood in Dubuque, Iowa, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The neighborhood has a population of 1,107 and a median income of $42,045. Fenelon-Hill is notable for its historic Fenelon Place Elevator, a local attraction since 1882.
Over the past decade, Fenelon-Hill has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority." The white population decreased from 87% in 2013 to 80% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 1% in 2013 to 15% in 2022, indicating a trend towards becoming a "Transitional Community." Other racial groups have shown slight increases in representation.
The median income in Fenelon-Hill has fluctuated over the years. From 2013 to 2019, there was an upward trend, with median income rising from $39,038 to $50,499, a 29% increase. From 2020 to 2022, a decline was observed, with median income dropping to $42,045, a 17% decrease from the 2019 peak.
The economic shifts correlate with demographic changes. The rise in median income from 2013-2019 coincides with a period of relative stability in the racial composition. The recent decline in median income (2020-2022) aligns with the more rapid increase in the Asian population.
The increase in Asian population in Fenelon-Hill is part of a broader trend of growing Asian communities in the Midwest. The recent decline in median income likely reflects broader economic challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite recent declines, the 2022 median income is still higher than the 2013 figure.
Fenelon-Hill remains a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." Subtle demographic shifts, particularly the growth in the Asian population, suggest a slow transition towards greater diversity. These changes, coupled with fluctuations in median income, reflect both local dynamics and broader socio-economic trends.
