The Jackson Park Community Club in Nashville, Tennessee, exemplifies a "Low Diversity" neighborhood with a "White Majority" as of 2022, with 96% of the population identifying as white. This community of 94 residents has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with the median income increasing from $60,829 in 2013 to $86,124 in 2022. Jackson Park Community Club is known for its historic charm, featuring early 20th-century homes and community engagement.
Over the past decade, Jackson Park Community Club has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" neighborhood with a "White Majority." From 2013 to 2017, the neighborhood showed slightly more diversity, with the white population ranging from 82% to 85%. From 2018 onwards, there was a trend towards lower diversity, with the white population increasing from 93% to 96% by 2022. The black population declined from 6% in 2013 to 0% by 2021. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 1% and 5% throughout the decade.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. As the neighborhood became less diverse from 2018 onwards, there was an increase in median income. It rose from $68,808 in 2015 to a peak of $94,698 in 2021. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 87 and 124 residents over the decade. The slight decrease in median income from 2021 to 2022 coincides with a small increase in diversity, though this correlation should not be overstated given the small sample size.
The trend towards increasing homogeneity in this neighborhood contrasts with many urban areas in the U.S., which have generally been experiencing increasing diversity over the past decade. The increase in median income (about 42% from 2013 to 2022) outpaces national averages for income growth during this period, suggesting that Jackson Park Community Club has become increasingly affluent relative to other areas. The persistence of a strong white majority in this neighborhood, despite Nashville's reputation as a growing, diverse city, indicates that Jackson Park Community Club may be experiencing less demographic change than other parts of the metropolitan area.
Jackson Park Community Club presents a case of a small, affluent neighborhood that has maintained and increased its racial homogeneity over the past decade, while experiencing economic growth. This trend raises questions about the factors contributing to this stability in racial composition and its sustainability in the face of broader demographic shifts occurring in many U.S. urban areas.
