The Farview neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, as of 2022, exhibits a population of 874 residents. It is classified as a Black Plurality community, with African Americans comprising 49% of the population. The neighborhood demonstrates Moderate Diversity, including significant White (35%) and Hispanic (10%) populations. Farview's current median income is $42,761, which is lower than its recent peak.
Farview has experienced significant demographic transitions over the past decade. In 2013, it was a White Majority community with 85% of the population identifying as White. By 2015, it had shifted to a Majority-Minority status, with the Hispanic population increasing to 45%. From 2016 to 2019, Farview maintained a High Diversity profile, with no single group exceeding 40% and at least three groups having significant representation. The most recent data from 2022 indicates a shift towards a Black Plurality.
The demographic changes in Farview have been accompanied by economic fluctuations. The median income increased from $29,149 in 2013 to $83,268 in 2020, coinciding with periods of high diversity. However, there has been a decline to $42,761 in 2022, aligning with the shift to a Black Plurality. This economic downturn may be related to broader socioeconomic factors affecting the African American community in Nashville or could indicate a period of transition as the neighborhood's demographic composition changes.
Farview's demographic evolution reflects broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. The rapid shifts from White Majority to Hispanic-influenced Majority-Minority, then to High Diversity, and finally to Black Plurality within a decade are unusually dynamic. This pattern may suggest that Farview is a Transitional Community experiencing rapid gentrification or other significant socio-economic changes.
The economic volatility, particularly the recent downturn, may be indicative of challenges faced by many urban neighborhoods undergoing rapid demographic changes. The increase in median income from 2013 to 2020 could have been driven by an influx of higher-income residents, possibly as part of a gentrification process. The subsequent decline might reflect displacement of these higher-income residents or economic challenges faced by the new plurality African American population.
Farview appears to be a neighborhood in flux, characterized by rapid demographic shifts and economic volatility. These changes likely have significant implications for community cohesion, local services, and housing affordability. The neighborhood's transition from a low-diversity White Majority area to its current state of Black Plurality with moderate diversity highlights the complex dynamics of urban demographic change and its economic correlates.
