The economic trajectory of Cornell Heights has been positive over the past decade. Median income has more than doubled from $20,550 in 2013 to $44,613 in 2022. This increase suggests economic development within the predominantly Black community. The period of most rapid income growth coincided with the reinforcement of the Black majority between 2019 and 2021. During this time, median income increased from $37,395 to $47,803, a 28% increase in two years. This could indicate that the economic uplift benefited the existing Black community rather than causing demographic changes through gentrification.
