Over the past decade, the Hill Arts District has maintained its White Majority status, but with changes in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood was categorized as Moderate Diversity, with 52% white and 29% black populations. By 2022, the white population increased to 58%, while the black population decreased to 22%.
The Hispanic and Asian populations showed slight increases from 9% and 3% in 2013 to 10% and 4% in 2022, respectively. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races grew from 5% to 6%. These shifts suggest a trend towards a Transitional Community, with increasing diversity among non-white populations.

As the neighborhood has become more pronouncedly White Majority, there hasn't been a corresponding significant increase in median income. This suggests that the demographic shifts may be driven by factors other than purely economic ones.
The population of the neighborhood has decreased from 1,771 in 2013 to 1,157 in 2022, a decline of about 34.7%. This population decrease, coupled with the stable high median income, might indicate a trend towards larger, more expensive housing units or a shift in household composition.
The demographic shifts observed in the Hill Arts District reflect some broader national trends, such as increasing diversity in urban areas. However, the pronounced increase in the white population percentage goes against the general trend of many U.S. cities becoming more diverse.
The neighborhood's median income of $132,476 in 2022 is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that the Hill Arts District remains an affluent area within the broader context of American neighborhoods.
The Hill Arts District has evolved over the past decade from a moderately diverse community to a more pronounced White Majority area, while maintaining its high economic status. The neighborhood appears to be in a state of transition, with increasing diversity among non-white populations and a significant decrease in overall population.
