Holt Woods, a neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, exhibits a White Majority demographic composition with a median household income of $112,049 as of 2022. The neighborhood is categorized as Low Diversity, with white residents comprising 76% of the population. Holt Woods has maintained a stable population over the past decade, ranging from 1,000 to 1,100 residents, indicating an established community with limited new development or turnover.
Over the past decade, Holt Woods has consistently remained in the White Majority and Low Diversity categories. The white population has fluctuated between 72% and 81% from 2013 to 2022. A brief period from 2019 to 2021 saw the neighborhood approach Moderate Diversity, with the white population decreasing to 77% and the black population increasing to 13%. However, this shift was temporary, and the neighborhood reverted to its previous demographic composition by 2022.
The Asian and Hispanic populations have remained stable, each comprising about 4-5% of the population throughout the decade. The Native American population has shown slight fluctuations, rising from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2020, before returning to 0% in 2022. These fluctuations may be attributed to small sample sizes or changes in self-identification among residents.
The median household income in Holt Woods has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $103,428 in 2013 to $112,049 in 2022. This represents an 8.3% increase over the decade, outpacing inflation. A significant dip in median income occurred in 2020 and 2021, likely due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, before rebounding in 2022.
The periods of highest median income (2018-2019) coincided with a slight decrease in the white population percentage and an increase in the black population percentage. This may suggest that the neighborhood was attracting more affluent black residents during this time, potentially indicating a trend towards greater economic diversity alongside racial diversity.
The demographic stability of Holt Woods contrasts with many urban neighborhoods across the United States, which have experienced more significant demographic shifts due to gentrification or changing migration patterns. The neighborhood's consistent White Majority status and high median income suggest it may be a relatively affluent, established suburb that has resisted major demographic changes.
The temporary increase in diversity and median income between 2018 and 2019, followed by a reversal during the pandemic years, mirrors trends seen in many urban areas where progress towards diversity and economic growth was temporarily halted or reversed by the global health crisis.
Holt Woods has maintained its status as a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood over the past decade, with subtle shifts towards greater diversity and economic growth. The resilience of the community's demographic and economic profile through the pandemic suggests a stable, well-resourced neighborhood that may continue to see gradual increases in diversity and affluence in the coming years.
