The Montogue neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, has undergone significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. As of 2022, it is classified as a "Moderate Diversity" community with representation from multiple racial groups. The neighborhood's median income in 2022 was $31,686, which is low compared to national averages. Montogue has experienced population growth in recent years.
Over the past decade, Montogue has transitioned from a community with a White plurality to one of Moderate Diversity. In 2013, the neighborhood had a White plurality (47%) with a significant Black population (35%). By 2022, no single racial group held a majority, with White (41%), Black (35%), and Hispanic (23%) populations all having substantial representation. This shift indicates a trend towards increasing diversity.
The Hispanic population has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 12% in 2013 to 23% in 2022. This change has been a key factor in the neighborhood's transition to greater diversity. The Black population has remained relatively stable, while the White population has decreased slightly in proportion.
The demographic shifts in Montogue correlate with changes in median income. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $21,320 to $31,686, representing a 48.6% growth. This economic improvement coincides with the increase in diversity. The population has grown from 929 in 2013 to 1,048 in 2022, an increase of about 12.8%.
The trends observed in Montogue reflect broader patterns seen in many urban areas across the United States. The increase in diversity, particularly the growth of the Hispanic population, aligns with national demographic shifts. However, the neighborhood's median income remains significantly below the national median household income, indicating that Montogue is still an economically challenged area within Nashville.
The transition towards greater diversity and the concurrent economic improvement suggest that Montogue may be experiencing early stages of gentrification or urban renewal. This process is common in many U.S. cities, where historically lower-income neighborhoods see an influx of new residents and economic investment, leading to both demographic changes and rising incomes.
Montogue presents a case study of a neighborhood in transition, moving towards greater racial diversity while experiencing modest economic growth. These changes likely bring both opportunities and challenges for long-term residents, as the neighborhood's character and economic landscape continue to evolve. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether this transition leads to inclusive growth or potential displacement of existing communities.
