Nashboro Village, a neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, exhibits characteristics of a Moderate Diversity community with a Black Plurality as of 2022. The racial composition comprises 43% Black, 36% White, and 10% Hispanic populations. The median income in 2022 was $65,610, indicative of a middle-class suburban area. The neighborhood is notable for its golf course community.
Over the past decade, Nashboro Village has experienced significant demographic changes. In 2013, the neighborhood had a White Plurality (49%) with a substantial Black population (37%). By 2019, it transitioned to a Black Majority (53%), aligning with the definition of a Transitional Community. From 2019 to 2022, the neighborhood evolved further to a Moderate Diversity status with a Black Plurality, marked by a decrease in the Black population percentage to 43% and increases in other racial groups, particularly Asian (5%) and Hispanic (10%).
The demographic shifts in Nashboro Village correlate with economic trends. The median income increased from $56,404 in 2013 to $65,610 in 2022, a 16.3% increase, suggesting maintained economic stability amid increasing diversity. A temporary dip in median income occurred from 2016 to 2017, coinciding with the Black population becoming the plurality, but subsequently rebounded and continued to grow.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, fluctuating between approximately 3,600 and 5,100 residents. This stability, combined with increasing diversity and rising incomes, indicates that Nashboro Village has attracted and retained a diverse middle-class population.
The demographic evolution of Nashboro Village reflects broader trends observed in many American suburbs, particularly those near major cities. The increase in diversity, especially the growth of Black and Hispanic populations, aligns with national trends of suburbanization among minority groups. The economic growth in Nashboro Village, despite significant demographic changes, suggests successful navigation of challenges often associated with rapid demographic shifts.
The introduction of an Asian population (5% by 2022) where previously there was none recorded is significant. It indicates that Nashboro Village is becoming attractive to a wider range of ethnic groups, potentially due to factors such as job opportunities, quality of life, or housing affordability in the greater Nashville area.
Nashboro Village exemplifies a successful transition from a predominantly White suburb to a diverse, economically stable community. Its evolution demonstrates how demographic changes can coincide with economic growth, creating a dynamic and inclusive suburban environment.
