Yankee Hill, a neighborhood in Lincoln, Nebraska, is classified as a "Low Diversity" community with a predominant White population. As of 2022, the neighborhood has 364 residents and a median income of $73,981. Yankee Hill is characterized by extensive green spaces and its proximity to Holmes Lake.
Over the past decade, Yankee Hill has maintained its "Low Diversity" status. The White population has consistently comprised over 80% of the neighborhood's residents. From 2013 to 2019, the White population percentage increased from 83% to 89%. However, from 2020 to 2022, there was a slight decrease to 84%, suggesting a potential trend towards increased diversity. The Asian population has shown the most significant increase, rising from 2% in 2013 to 9% in 2022.
The median income in Yankee Hill has fluctuated notably over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was a general upward trend, peaking at $121,167 in 2019. In 2020, there was a significant decrease to $73,981, a level that has persisted through 2022. This income decline coincides with a slight increase in racial diversity, particularly the growth of the Asian population.
Population trends indicate a general decline from 631 residents in 2010 to 295 residents in 2020, followed by a modest increase to 364 residents in 2022. This population fluctuation, combined with income changes, suggests a period of transition for the neighborhood.
The recent increases in Asian and Hispanic populations in Yankee Hill align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the neighborhood's "Low Diversity" status contrasts with the national movement towards more diverse communities, especially in urban areas. The sharp decline in median income from 2019 to 2020 is notable and may be related to broader economic challenges, potentially including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In conclusion, Yankee Hill has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a strong White majority. Recent years have shown subtle signs of increasing diversity and significant economic changes. These shifts, particularly the growth in the Asian population and the dramatic income fluctuations, suggest that Yankee Hill may be at the beginning of a transitional period, potentially moving towards a more diverse and economically dynamic future.
