The Tiffany neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri, exhibits characteristics of a Black Majority community. African Americans constitute 73% of the population as of 2022. The neighborhood has undergone significant demographic changes and economic fluctuations over the past decade.

Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Tiffany has maintained its status as a Black Majority neighborhood. The Black population percentage reached a peak of 85% in 2013-2014 before declining to 73% by 2022. The White population has remained between 11-17% during this period. Hispanic representation has increased from 0% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. The Asian population has consistently been around 2-3%.

The median income in Tiffany has shown an overall upward trend. From 2013 to 2022, median income increased from $35,049 to $52,924, representing a 51% rise. Significant increases occurred between 2016-2017 (12% increase) and 2018-2019 (9.5% increase). The years 2019-2021 experienced some volatility, potentially due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This economic growth correlates with the demographic shifts observed in the neighborhood.
The population growth in Tiffany, an 82% increase from 2010 to 2022, is substantial. The median income growth of 51% over a decade is significant. However, the 2022 median income of $52,924 is likely below the national median. The increasing Hispanic population aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic communities in urban areas, though Tiffany's growth in this demographic appears to be more recent and rapid.
Tiffany presents a picture of a historically Black majority neighborhood undergoing gradual diversification and economic improvement. While maintaining its African American character, it shows signs of evolving towards greater ethnic diversity and economic opportunity. These changes could bring both benefits and challenges that will shape the neighborhood's future development and community dynamics.
