The Timber Ln - Woodleigh neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee, is classified as a Low Diversity area with a predominantly White population of 97% as of 2022. The neighborhood's median income was $155,555 in 2022, which is significantly above the national average. The area is characterized by large, upscale homes and well-maintained properties, reflecting its high-income status.
From 2013 to 2022, the neighborhood has consistently been categorized as Low Diversity. The racial composition has remained predominantly White, with minimal change. Between 2013 and 2017, the population was 100% White. From 2018 to 2022, there was a slight increase in diversity, with a 97-98% White population and a small 2-3% Black population.
The median income in the neighborhood has fluctuated but remained consistently high. From 2013 to 2018, it was stable at $200,000. In 2019, it decreased to $148,930, and from 2020 to 2022, it stabilized around $155,555. These income levels indicate an extremely affluent area, even with the slight decrease in recent years. The persistent high income correlates with the stable, predominantly White demographic, suggesting a well-established, wealthy community with little economic or racial turnover.
Population trends show some fluctuation. From 2010 to 2015, there was a steady increase from 408 to 712 residents. Between 2016 and 2022, the population fluctuated between 446 and 650 residents. The initial population growth followed by stabilization might indicate a period of development followed by a settling of the community.
The Timber Ln - Woodleigh neighborhood's demographic and economic profile contrasts with broader trends in Nashville and many urban areas across the United States. While many cities have seen increasing diversity and gentrification in certain neighborhoods, this area has maintained its homogeneous racial composition and high economic status. The median household income for Nashville overall was around $70,262 in 2021, making Timber Ln - Woodleigh's median income more than double the city average.
Nationally, many affluent suburban areas have experienced increasing diversity over the past decade. However, Timber Ln - Woodleigh's resistance to this trend suggests strong socio-economic barriers to entry, potentially including high property values and limited housing turnover. The stability in both racial composition and high income levels in this neighborhood indicates a community that has largely insulated itself from broader demographic shifts occurring in many urban and suburban areas across the United States.
The persistence of Low Diversity in an increasingly diverse national landscape raises questions about housing policies, community integration efforts, and the long-term social implications of such economically and racially homogeneous enclaves within diverse urban areas.
