Shaw, a neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri, has undergone significant demographic changes from 2013 to 2022. In 2013, Shaw was characterized as a Moderate Diversity neighborhood with 52% White and 39% Black residents. By 2022, it had transformed into a White Majority community with 70% White residents. The Black population decreased from 39% to 18%, while the Hispanic population increased from 1% to 6%. The Asian population remained stable at 1-2% throughout this period.

The demographic shifts in Shaw correlate with changes in median income. The median income rose from $60,101 in 2013 to $78,510 in 2022, an increase of 30.6%. This growth coincides with the increasing proportion of White residents and the decreasing proportion of Black residents. The population of Shaw decreased slightly from 6,958 in 2013 to 6,233 in 2022, suggesting a process of gentrification.

The trends observed in Shaw reflect broader patterns of gentrification seen in many urban areas across the United States. However, Shaw's transition has been particularly rapid and dramatic compared to national averages. The shift from Moderate Diversity to White Majority in ten years is significant, and the income growth outpaces national trends.
