Vienna Woods, a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, exhibits Low Diversity characteristics with a predominant White population of 80% as of 2022. The neighborhood has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income increasing from $98,943 in 2013 to $130,468 in 2022. Vienna Woods is known for its spacious properties and tree-lined streets, reflecting European influence in urban planning.
Vienna Woods has maintained a Low Diversity categorization from 2013 to 2022. The White population has remained the Racial Majority, consistently above 79% during this period. The Black population fluctuated between 4-10%, peaking in 2016 at 10% before settling at 5% in 2022. The Hispanic population declined from 10% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The Two or More Races category increased from 2% in 2021 to 8% in 2022, potentially indicating the beginning of a Transitional Community trend.
The neighborhood has experienced substantial economic growth, with median income increasing by approximately 32% from 2013 to 2022. This growth correlates with the maintenance of a strong White majority and could suggest increased attractiveness to high-income White professionals, possible gentrification effects, and a trend towards more affluent, mixed-race families moving into the area. The population has grown modestly from 239 in 2013 to 275 in 2022, indicating a stable, yet slightly growing community.
Vienna Woods has maintained its Low Diversity status while many urban areas across the United States have experienced increasing diversity. The neighborhood's racial composition and economic trends diverge from national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The income growth in Vienna Woods outpaces national averages, indicating it is becoming an increasingly exclusive enclave within Tulsa.
The rise in the Two or More Races category in 2022 aligns with broader national trends of increasing multiracial identification, especially among younger, more affluent demographics. This could signal the beginning of a gradual shift towards Moderate Diversity in the coming years, albeit from a starting point of very low diversity.
Vienna Woods represents a pocket of stability and affluence within Tulsa, maintaining a predominantly White population while experiencing significant economic growth. The recent increase in multiracial residents may indicate the start of a gradual diversification process, though the neighborhood remains far from the diversity levels seen in many other urban and suburban areas across the United States.
