Milbrook, a neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, exhibited a Black Majority status with a median income of $28,497 as of 2022. This classification is based on the 66% Black population, which surpasses the 50% threshold for a racial majority. Milbrook is situated near Franklin Park, one of Columbus' largest urban parks.
Over the past decade, Milbrook maintained its Black Majority status. The Black population increased from 51% in 2013 to 66% in 2022. The White population decreased from 30% to 23% during this period. The Hispanic community declined from 15% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 2% to 8%.
The median income in Milbrook rose from $22,670 in 2013 to $28,497 in 2022, an increase of 25.7%. The population decreased slightly from 1,111 in 2013 to 1,077 in 2022.
The trends in Milbrook reflect broader national patterns of increasing racial segregation in some urban areas, particularly in Midwest cities. The growth in the multiracial population aligns with national trends, as the U.S. Census reported a significant increase in the multiracial population between 2010 and 2020.
The median income growth in Milbrook, while positive, remains below the national median household income of $69,021 as of 2022. This indicates that Milbrook continues to face economic challenges compared to national averages.
The slight population decline in Milbrook contrasts with the overall growth of Columbus, which has been one of the fastest-growing large cities in the Midwest. This disparity suggests that Milbrook has not fully participated in the broader economic and population growth of the city.
Milbrook's evolution over the past decade demonstrates a strengthening Black Majority community with modest economic gains, set against a backdrop of slight population decline. The neighborhood's changes reflect both local dynamics and broader national trends in urban demographics and economics.
