The population growth from 2,059 in 2013 to 3,362 in 2022 suggests increasing demand for housing in the area, potentially contributing to rising property values and attracting higher-income residents.
Tuttle's gradual diversification aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. The growth of the Asian population in Tuttle may reflect wider patterns of Asian immigration and internal migration to university-adjacent neighborhoods in major cities.
The economic trajectory of Tuttle, with significant income growth followed by a recent decline, may reflect broader economic cycles affecting urban areas. The recent decrease in median income could be attributed to various factors, including the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or changes in the local job market.
Tuttle remains a "Low Diversity" neighborhood with signs of gradual change towards greater diversity. The economic fluctuations, particularly the recent decline in median income, may influence future demographic shifts. The neighborhood's proximity to Ohio State University likely plays a significant role in its demographic and economic dynamics, potentially attracting a more diverse student and young professional population over time.
