Over the past decade, The Woodlands has experienced notable fluctuations in racial composition while maintaining its White Majority status. The white population ranged from 55% to 64%. The Black population increased from 23% in 2013 to 31% in 2022. The Asian population peaked at 12% in 2018 but declined to 6% by 2022. The Hispanic population decreased from 13% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.

The median income in The Woodlands has shown substantial growth, increasing from $51,281 in 2013 to $69,642 in 2022, representing a 35.8% increase. This income growth correlates with demographic shifts. The rise in median income coincides with the increase in the Black population percentage.

The demographic shifts in The Woodlands reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States. The rising median income and changing racial composition suggest gentrification processes similar to those observed in other growing metropolitan areas. The increase in Black population in a predominantly white suburban neighborhood aligns with national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The substantial increase in median income outpaces the national average, indicating strong economic growth in the Nashville metropolitan area.
These changes in The Woodlands neighborhood mirror the broader demographic and economic shifts occurring in many American cities, where suburban areas are becoming more diverse and economically dynamic. The neighborhood's evolution from Moderate Diversity to a more polarized racial composition, coupled with significant income growth, suggests a complex interplay of economic development, migration patterns, and possibly gentrification processes that are reshaping the community's character and socio-economic landscape.
