Ingleside, a neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority." As of 2022, the African American population comprises 90% of residents, establishing it as a "Black Majority" neighborhood. The median income in 2022 is $35,330, which is below the national average. Ingleside has historical significance in Kansas City's jazz scene, having been home to influential musicians during the mid-20th century.
Over the past decade, Ingleside has maintained its status as a "Black Majority" neighborhood, with the African American population consistently above 88% since 2013. The Hispanic population has increased from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The White population has fluctuated between 3% and 5%. Other racial groups have maintained minimal representation throughout the decade. These changes suggest potential for a "Transitional Community" status in the future if current trends continue.
The economic landscape of Ingleside has shown volatility over the past decade. Median income increased from $19,234 in 2015 to $37,459 in 2020, representing 94% growth over five years. A decline to $30,465 occurred in 2021, followed by a partial recovery to $35,330 in 2022. These economic fluctuations do not strongly correlate with the subtle demographic shifts. Population figures have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 849 and 1,160 residents over the decade.
Ingleside's persistent "Black Majority" status is notable in a national context where many urban neighborhoods have experienced significant demographic shifts. The median income, even at its peak in 2020, remained below the national median income, highlighting economic challenges faced by this community. The stability of the racial composition in Ingleside contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity in many urban areas.
In conclusion, Ingleside has maintained its status as a predominantly African American neighborhood with low diversity over the past decade. Subtle shifts in Hispanic population and significant economic fluctuations indicate potential changes. The community's ability to navigate these changes while preserving its cultural heritage will be crucial in shaping its future identity and economic prospects.
