The Colonies neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee, exhibits characteristics of Low Diversity, with a predominantly White population (83% in 2022). The neighborhood has a median income of $114,162 as of 2022, which is above the national average. The Colonies is an upscale residential area located near Belle Meade, one of Nashville's prestigious neighborhoods.
Over the past decade, the Colonies has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community. The White population has remained the dominant racial group, fluctuating between 80% and 86% from 2013 to 2022. There have been minor shifts in other racial groups. The Asian population peaked at 11% in 2015 but declined to 4% by 2022. The Black population gradually increased from 4% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable at around 2%.
The Colonies has experienced steady economic growth over the past decade. The median income rose from $109,616 in 2013 to $114,162 in 2022, an increase of about 4.1%. The neighborhood maintained its high-income status throughout this period, with only minor fluctuations. Population trends show some variability. The population peaked at 359 in 2016 but declined to 297 by 2022.
The Colonies' demographic and economic trends diverge from broader national patterns. While many urban areas have experienced increasing diversity, the Colonies has maintained its Low Diversity status. The neighborhood's median income is significantly higher than the national median ($70,784 in 2021), reflecting its status as an affluent enclave. The slight increase in minority representation, particularly in the Black population, aligns with broader trends of increasing diversity in American suburbs, albeit at a much slower pace.
The Colonies neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson presents a picture of stability in terms of both racial composition and economic status over the past decade. While minor shifts towards increased diversity are observable, they have not been substantial enough to alter the neighborhood's overall demographic character. The area's high median income and consistent Low Diversity classification suggest a relatively insulated community that has largely maintained its socio-economic profile amidst broader national trends towards increased urban and suburban diversity.
