The Greenwood neighborhood in Clarksville, Tennessee, exhibits characteristics of a "Transitional Community" with "Moderate Diversity" as of 2022. The neighborhood has a population of 11,798 and a median income of $41,052. Its proximity to Fort Campbell, a major U.S. Army installation, likely influences its demographic composition and economic dynamics.
Over the past decade, Greenwood has experienced significant demographic changes. In 2013, the neighborhood was classified as having a "White Majority," with 68% of the population identifying as white. By 2022, this shifted to a "Moderate Diversity" classification, with the white population decreasing to 50% and the black population increasing from 23% to 38%. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable at 7-13% throughout the decade, while the Asian population increased from 0% to 3% in the last two years.
The median income in Greenwood has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $38,292 in 2013 to $41,052 in 2022, representing a growth of about 7.2% over the decade. The most significant increase occurred between 2019 and 2020, with a rise from $37,791 to $40,862. The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with some fluctuations, including a notable decrease from 12,120 in 2016 to 10,920 in 2017, followed by a gradual increase to the current 11,798.
The demographic shifts observed in Greenwood align with broader national trends towards increased diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The growth in the black population percentage is particularly noteworthy and may reflect broader patterns of demographic change in military-adjacent communities.
The income growth in Greenwood, while positive, appears to be modest compared to national averages. The U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022, slightly outpacing Greenwood's 7.2% growth. This suggests that while the neighborhood is experiencing economic growth, it may be lagging slightly behind national trends.
Greenwood's evolution from a "White Majority" community to one of "Moderate Diversity" over the past decade reflects significant demographic changes. These shifts, coupled with modest economic growth, indicate a neighborhood in transition, likely influenced by its proximity to Fort Campbell and broader demographic trends. The community's ability to maintain population levels while increasing diversity suggests a dynamic and potentially resilient local environment adapting to changing socio-economic conditions.
