Tremont, a neighborhood in the Bronx, New York, is characterized as a Majority-Minority community with a Hispanic Majority. As of 2022, the Hispanic population constitutes 70% of the area, with the Black population at 26%. The neighborhood's median income in 2022 is $35,405, which is below the national average. Tremont is notable for its cultural landmarks, including the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden.
Over the past decade, Tremont has maintained its status as a Majority-Minority community with a Hispanic Majority. The Hispanic population has remained between 69% and 72% from 2013 to 2022, while the Black population has stayed between 24% and 26%. This demographic stability suggests an established ethnic enclave resistant to significant change.
Minor increases in diversity are evident. The Asian population grew from 0% in 2013 to 1% in 2022. The White population and those identifying as two or more races also increased slightly, reaching 1-2% by 2022. These small shifts indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity, though not enough to alter the neighborhood's overall demographic categorization.
The median income in Tremont has increased from $23,520 in 2013 to $35,405 in 2022, a rise of approximately 50%. This income growth correlates with the slight diversification in racial composition, suggesting that economic improvements may be attracting a more diverse population. Despite this increase, Tremont's median income remains below the national average, indicating ongoing economic challenges. The population has grown modestly from 34,415 in 2013 to 36,272 in 2022, suggesting a relatively stable community with some influx of new residents.
Tremont's demographic stability contrasts with broader trends in many urban areas across the United States, which have often experienced more rapid diversification or gentrification. The neighborhood's persistent Hispanic majority and steady Black population suggest strong community ties and cultural preservation. The income growth in Tremont, while significant, still leaves the neighborhood economically disadvantaged compared to national averages. This pattern is common in many historically minority-majority urban neighborhoods, where economic progress occurs but often lags behind more affluent areas.
The slight increase in diversity, particularly the growth in Asian, White, and multiracial populations, aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. However, the pace of this change in Tremont is slower than in many other urban neighborhoods across the country. Tremont presents a picture of a stable, predominantly Hispanic and Black community that is experiencing slow but steady economic improvement and very gradual diversification. While facing ongoing economic challenges, the neighborhood's demographic consistency suggests a strong cultural identity and community cohesion that has persisted through the past decade's changes.
