The JSH Neighborhood Club in Nashville, Tennessee, is characterized as a Black Majority community with Low Diversity. As of 2022, the neighborhood's population is 751, with a median income of $28,019. The area has a strong historical African American presence that has influenced its cultural identity.
Over the past decade, the JSH Neighborhood Club has maintained its status as a Black Majority community, with some changes. In 2013, the Black population constituted 88% of the neighborhood. By 2022, this percentage decreased to 74%, still maintaining a clear majority but indicating a trend towards increased diversity. The white population increased from 9% in 2013 to 19% in 2022, suggesting a gradual transition towards Moderate Diversity. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable at 2-3% since 2017.
The neighborhood has experienced economic fluctuations over the decade. The median income increased from $23,013 in 2013 to $40,020 in 2021, before declining to $28,019 in 2022. This pattern indicates a period of economic growth followed by a recent decline. The period of highest median income in 2021 coincided with the lowest recorded population of 545 in the dataset.
The gradual increase in diversity in the JSH Neighborhood Club aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. The persistence of a strong Black Majority distinguishes this neighborhood from many others experiencing rapid gentrification.
The economic volatility, particularly the sharp increase and subsequent decrease in median income between 2020 and 2022, may reflect broader economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. The neighborhood's median income, even at its peak, remains significantly below the national median household income, suggesting ongoing economic challenges common to many historically Black urban neighborhoods.
In conclusion, the JSH Neighborhood Club remains a Black Majority community with relatively Low Diversity, showing signs of gradual demographic shifts and economic fluctuations. These changes may signal the beginning of a longer-term transition in the neighborhood's character and composition. Monitoring these trends in the coming years will be crucial for understanding the neighborhood's trajectory and addressing potential challenges related to community cohesion and economic equity.
