A neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government, Tennessee, has undergone significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. The area transitioned from a white-majority community to a majority-minority status. As of 2022, the neighborhood had a population of 7,979 and an estimated 3,057 housing units.
The demographic shift in this neighborhood is characterized by a steady decline in the white population percentage and an increase in other racial groups. In 2013, the white population constituted 69% of the total. By 2022, this figure decreased to 46%, while the Black population increased to 38%. The Hispanic population remained relatively stable between 6-9% throughout the decade. The "Two or More Races" category saw an increase from 0% in 2013 to 4% by 2022.
The neighborhood experienced economic changes alongside its demographic shifts. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $59,684 to $68,090, representing a growth of about 14%. This growth was not linear, with a dip between 2013 and 2015, followed by a steady increase until 2021, and a slight decrease in 2022. The period of most rapid income growth (2018-2021) coincided with the acceleration of the neighborhood's transition to a majority-minority status.
The population of the neighborhood grew during this period, from 7,279 in 2013 to 7,979 in 2022, an increase of about 9.6%. This population growth, combined with increasing diversity and rising median incomes, indicates significant socio-economic changes in the area.
The demographic shifts observed in this Nashville neighborhood reflect broader national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. Many U.S. cities have experienced similar transitions from predominantly white populations to more diverse, majority-minority communities over the past decade. This trend is often associated with economic growth in urban centers, attracting diverse populations for employment opportunities.
The income growth in this neighborhood, while significant, may be slightly below the national average for urban areas during this period. The transition from a white majority to a majority-minority community, coupled with population growth and increasing median incomes, suggests a neighborhood experiencing both challenges and opportunities associated with rapid demographic change.
