As of 2022, the white population stands at 50%, at the threshold between plurality and majority. The neighborhood has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade, along with fluctuations in median income.

In 2013, Lindridge - Martin Manor was categorized as a White Majority community, with 54% of the population identifying as white. Over the next few years, the neighborhood transitioned to a Moderate Diversity status, with representation from Hispanic and Black populations. By 2018, it had become a High Diversity area, with white (49%), Hispanic (25%), and Black (14%) populations all having substantial representation.
The most recent data from 2022 shows a shift back towards a White Plurality (50%), with an increase in the Black population (28%) and a decrease in the Hispanic population (10%). This fluctuation suggests a Transitional Community, with ongoing changes in racial composition.
The median income in the neighborhood has shown volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2015, there was an increase from $59,937 to $79,554, coinciding with a period of increasing diversity. However, 2020 saw a decline to $56,938, before rebounding to $76,973 in 2022. The periods of highest median income (2015-2019) correspond with the neighborhood's transition to and maintenance of High Diversity status. This suggests a potential correlation between increased diversity and economic prosperity in the area.
The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with minor fluctuations, indicating that the demographic changes are likely due to resident turnover rather than significant population changes.
The demographic shifts in Lindridge - Martin Manor reflect trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where increasing diversity is becoming common. The neighborhood's transition from a White Majority to a more diverse community aligns with national trends of growing minority populations in metropolitan areas.
The economic volatility, particularly the decline in 2020 and subsequent recovery, likely reflects the broader economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic seen across the country. The recovery to near pre-pandemic income levels by 2022 suggests a resilient local economy, possibly influenced by the neighborhood's proximity to the Lindbergh Center and its transit-oriented development.
Lindridge - Martin Manor exemplifies an urban neighborhood undergoing demographic and economic changes. Its evolution from a White Majority community to one of Moderate Diversity with a White Plurality, coupled with fluctuating but generally increasing median incomes, indicates a neighborhood in transition. These changes likely bring both opportunities and challenges for community cohesion and local economic development, reflecting broader urban trends across the United States.
