The Onyx neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a "Racial Majority." As of 2022, the Black population constitutes 83% of the neighborhood, categorizing it as "Black Majority." The area has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income increasing from $17,521 in 2013 to $29,279 in 2022. However, Onyx has undergone population decline, decreasing from 7,502 residents in 2010 to 4,830 in 2022.
From 2013 to 2022, Onyx has maintained its status as a "Black Majority" neighborhood. The Black population percentage decreased from 90% in 2013 to 83% in 2022. The White population increased from 5% to 8% during this period. The Hispanic and Two or More Races categories rose from 1% each in 2013 to 3% and 4% respectively in 2022. These changes suggest a slow trend towards increased diversity, potentially categorizing Onyx as a "Transitional Community" in its early stages.
The economic landscape of Onyx has changed significantly. Median income increased by approximately 67% from 2013 to 2022, indicating economic growth. This income growth coincided with a decrease in population. The slight increase in diversity correlates with the rise in median income, possibly indicating that economic opportunities are attracting a more diverse population.
The population decline in Onyx (-35.6% from 2010 to 2022) is more severe than typical urban trends. The increase in median income, while positive, still places Onyx below the national median income. The maintenance of a strong Black majority in Onyx contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in urban areas.
Onyx remains categorized as a "Black Majority" and "Low Diversity" neighborhood, but shows early signs of transitioning towards increased diversity. This demographic shift, coupled with economic improvement, indicates a community in the early stages of transformation. The challenge for Onyx will be to balance economic growth and potential gentrification pressures with maintaining its community identity and ensuring equitable development for all residents.
