Population figures show fluctuation, with a decline from 2,791 in 2010 to a low of 2,295 in 2015, followed by a recovery to 2,627 in 2022. This pattern may reflect initial challenges faced by the community, followed by a period of stabilization and modest growth, possibly correlating with the improving economic conditions.
The stability of Tatemville's racial composition is notable in an era where many urban areas are experiencing increased diversity. This could indicate strong community ties and cultural preservation efforts. The significant increase in median income is a positive trend, potentially outpacing national averages. The population fluctuations, particularly the decline in the early 2010s followed by recovery, might reflect broader urban trends of inner-city population loss and subsequent revitalization efforts.
Tatemville presents a picture of a stable, predominantly African American community that has experienced significant economic improvement over the past decade while maintaining its demographic character. This suggests a neighborhood that has found ways to improve economically without undergoing dramatic changes in its racial composition, potentially through community-focused development efforts or targeted economic initiatives.
