Over the past decade, Barclay Square has transitioned from a community with a Black Plurality to one of Moderate Diversity. In 2013, the neighborhood showed a distribution of 31% Black, 31% Hispanic, and 30% White populations. By 2022, the Black population increased to 40%, Asian representation grew from 6% to 10%, and the Hispanic population decreased to 22%.
The community has consistently maintained a diverse mix throughout the years. The increasing Black population and growing Asian community suggest a trend towards a Transitional Community, particularly in terms of minority group representations.
The median income in Barclay Square has fluctuated over the decade. From $38,839 in 2013, it peaked at $49,591 in 2017 before dropping to $35,771 in 2020. It recovered to $46,225 in 2022. The periods of higher median income (2015-2017) coincided with a slight increase in the Black population percentage and a decrease in the White population percentage.
The Asian population's growth from 6% to 10% between 2013 and 2022 correlates with periods of both economic growth and decline, indicating that this demographic shift may be influenced by factors beyond local economic conditions.
The demographic shifts in Barclay Square reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States. The neighborhood's resilience in maintaining a stable population despite economic fluctuations is noteworthy. The median income fluctuations, particularly the sharp decline in 2020 and subsequent recovery, mirror national economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Barclay Square represents urban demographic evolution, showcasing increasing diversity, economic resilience, and the complex interplay between racial composition and economic factors. The neighborhood's ability to maintain a stable population while undergoing significant demographic shifts speaks to its adaptability.
