Grandmont No.1, a neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, is classified as a Low Diversity community with a Black Majority. As of 2022, 94% of the population identifies as Black, with minimal representation from other racial groups. The neighborhood has experienced economic growth over the past decade, with median income increasing from $41,051 in 2013 to $59,769 in 2022. Grandmont No.1 is known for its early 20th-century homes and community associations, which have contributed to neighborhood stability.
Over the past decade, Grandmont No.1 has maintained its status as a Black Majority community. From 2013 to 2018, there was a slight decrease in the Black population from 91% to 85% and an increase in the White population from 6% to 13%. From 2019 to 2022, this trend reversed, with the Black population increasing from 86% to 94%. Other racial groups maintained minimal representation, never exceeding 2% of the population.
The neighborhood has experienced substantial economic growth, with median income increasing by approximately 45% from 2013 to 2022. The period of slightly increasing diversity (2013-2018) coincided with rapid income growth, from $41,051 to $57,676. As the community reverted to a stronger Black Majority from 2019-2022, income growth continued at a more moderate pace, reaching $59,769 in 2022. Population figures have remained relatively stable throughout this period, ranging from about 2,900 to 3,500 residents.
Grandmont No.1 appears to have diverged from broader Detroit trends of economic challenges and population decline. The neighborhood's economic growth and population stability may be attributed to strong community associations and the preservation of historic housing stock. The increasing racial homogeneity in recent years contrasts with trends in many urban areas across the U.S., which have generally seen increasing diversity. This suggests that Grandmont No.1 may be particularly valued within Detroit's Black community.
The income growth in Grandmont No.1 outpaces national trends. While the U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022 (adjusted for inflation), Grandmont No.1 saw growth of 45%, indicating substantial economic improvement within this specific community.
Grandmont No.1 presents a case of a neighborhood that has maintained its distinct racial character while experiencing significant economic uplift, diverging from some broader urban trends towards increased diversity but aligning with patterns of economic growth in successful urban neighborhoods.
