Grandview South, a neighborhood in Grandview Heights, Ohio, is characterized by Low Diversity, with a predominantly White population (84% in 2022). The median income was $94,713 in 2022, indicating an affluent suburb of Columbus. The neighborhood is known for its early 20th-century homes and proximity to The Ohio State University.
Over the past decade, Grandview South has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community, with the White population remaining above 75%. However, subtle signs of a Transitional Community are emerging. The percentage of White residents has decreased from 88% in 2013 to 84% in 2022, while other racial groups have seen modest increases.
The Asian population has grown from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The Black population has increased from 3% to 5% over the same period. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2% and 4%. The "Two or More Races" category has increased from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, indicating a growing multiracial presence.
The median income in Grandview South has shown overall growth, increasing from $89,214 in 2013 to $94,713 in 2022, representing a 6.2% increase over the decade. This trend suggests continuing affluence in the neighborhood, potentially attracting a more diverse, yet still predominantly high-income population.
The population has grown from 3,008 in 2013 to 3,540 in 2022, a 17.7% increase. This population growth, coupled with slight diversification, might indicate that the neighborhood is becoming increasingly attractive to a wider range of residents, potentially due to its economic opportunities and proximity to urban amenities.
Grandview South remains less diverse than many urban areas in Ohio and across the United States. Columbus, the nearby major city, has been experiencing more rapid diversification and has been categorized as a Majority-Minority city in recent years.
The economic growth in Grandview South aligns with broader trends of suburban affluence, where higher-income households often cluster in desirable locations near major cities. The gradual increase in diversity mirrors national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in suburban areas, though at a much more modest pace.
Grandview South remains a predominantly White, affluent suburb, but subtle shifts in its demographic makeup suggest the beginnings of a more diverse community. The economic stability and growth of the area may continue to attract a wider range of residents, potentially accelerating this trend in the coming years. However, significant changes in the neighborhood's diversity profile would likely occur over an extended period if current trends continue.
