The Springbourne neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, is classified as having "Low Diversity" with a White Majority as of 2022. The white population constitutes 77% of the community. The neighborhood has experienced population growth from 454 residents in 2010 to 716 in 2022. The median income increased to $78,811 in 2022, indicating economic improvement.
From 2013 to 2022, Springbourne maintained a White Majority status. Between 2013 and 2017, the neighborhood showed signs of moving towards "Moderate Diversity" with the Asian population growing from 8% to 20% and the Black population remaining stable around 10-12%. From 2018 to 2020, a shift back towards "Low Diversity" began, with the white population increasing from 68% to 79%. In 2021-2022, the trend of decreasing diversity continued, solidifying the neighborhood's "Low Diversity" status.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. From 2013 to 2017, as diversity increased, median income rose from $45,999 to $66,585, a 44.8% increase. From 2018 to 2022, as the neighborhood became less diverse, median income continued to rise, reaching $78,811 in 2022, an 18.8% increase from 2017.
The trend in Springbourne diverges from national trends towards increasing diversity in urban areas. While many U.S. cities have seen growing minority populations and increased diversity, Springbourne has moved in the opposite direction in recent years.
The economic growth in Springbourne outpaces national averages. The median household income in the U.S. grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022, while Springbourne saw a 71% increase over the same period.
These trends suggest that Springbourne may be experiencing gentrification, where rising property values and cost of living may be pricing out some minority residents and attracting more affluent, predominantly white residents. This could explain the simultaneous trends of decreasing diversity and increasing median income.
The rapid population growth (57% increase from 2010 to 2022) indicates that Springbourne is an attractive area for new residents, possibly due to urban development or revitalization efforts in Columbus.
Springbourne presents a case of a neighborhood that briefly trended towards greater diversity but has since reverted to a less diverse, more affluent community. This trajectory raises questions about housing affordability, community integration, and the long-term social and economic impacts of such demographic shifts on the broader Columbus area.
