Hermitage Hills, a neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, exhibits a White Majority demographic composition with moderate diversity as of 2022. The neighborhood has a population of 4,959 and a median income of $68,706. Hermitage Hills is located near the historic home of President Andrew Jackson.
Over the past decade, Hermitage Hills has undergone a transition in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood had Low Diversity, with the white population comprising 80% of residents. By 2022, the community evolved into a White Majority with Moderate Diversity. The Hispanic population increased from 6% in 2013 to 15% in 2022. The black population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 13% and 17% over the decade.
The community briefly became a Transitional Community between 2017 and 2021, with the Hispanic population showing a consistent upward trend during this period. This trend slightly reversed in 2022, stabilizing at 15%. The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. The median income increased from $48,325 in 2013 to $68,706 in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 42% over the decade.
The years of most rapid income growth (2015-2019) align with the period of accelerating Hispanic population growth. This suggests that the influx of new residents may have contributed to economic vitality in the area. The population grew from 4,590 in 2013 to 4,959 in 2022, indicating that the neighborhood has become more attractive to new residents.
The demographic changes in Hermitage Hills reflect broader trends seen in many urban and suburban areas across the United States, where increasing diversity is often accompanied by economic growth. The increase in median income outpaces the national average over a similar period. The growth of the Hispanic population in Hermitage Hills is consistent with trends seen in many parts of Tennessee and the broader Southeast.
Hermitage Hills has evolved from a predominantly white, low-diversity neighborhood to a more economically prosperous and moderately diverse community over the past decade. This transition reflects broader national trends towards increased diversity in suburban areas, while the concurrent economic growth suggests a positive reception to these demographic changes within the community.
