Granny White, a neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government, Tennessee, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, the neighborhood's population is 4,505 with a median income of $189,900. The neighborhood is named after a woman who established an inn along the Granny White Pike in the late 18th century.
Over the past decade, Granny White has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. From 2013 to 2019, the white population remained above 95%. In 2020, the white population decreased to 88%, while Asian and Hispanic populations increased. Despite this shift, the neighborhood remains categorized as Low Diversity, with the white population still exceeding 75%.
The median income in Granny White has shown an upward trend. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $176,627 to $189,900, peaking at $196,620 in 2021. This economic growth coincides with the slight increase in diversity. The population has grown steadily, from 3,674 in 2013 to 4,505 in 2022, indicating the area's increasing desirability.
The correlation between rising incomes and the subtle shift towards more diversity might indicate that the neighborhood is becoming attractive to affluent minorities, particularly Asian and Hispanic professionals.
Granny White's slight trend towards increased diversity aligns with broader national patterns of suburban diversification. However, the neighborhood's high median income and slow pace of diversification distinguish it from areas experiencing more rapid demographic changes.
The economic stability and growth in Granny White contrast with national trends of increasing income inequality. This suggests that the neighborhood may be insulated from some economic pressures affecting other parts of the country, potentially due to its high-income status and desirable location within the Nashville metropolitan area.
While Granny White remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community, subtle shifts in its demographic makeup, coupled with consistent economic growth, suggest potential for gradual change. The neighborhood's ability to maintain high median incomes while slowly diversifying could make it a case study in gradual, affluent suburban integration.
