The population of the neighborhood declined over the decade, from 2,513 in 2013 to 1,872 in 2022. This population decrease, coupled with the racial demographic shifts, suggests a possible gentrification process or changes in housing availability that may have displaced some long-term residents, particularly from the black community.

The demographic changes in the Capitol Hill Area reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where historically diverse neighborhoods near city centers have experienced gentrification and demographic shifts. The decrease in the black population and increase in the white population, coupled with income fluctuations, aligns with patterns observed in other cities undergoing urban renewal or redevelopment.

The significant drop in the black population from 28% to 6% over a decade is more dramatic than typical national trends, suggesting localized factors may be at play. The slight increase in the Hispanic population aligns with national trends of growing Hispanic communities in urban areas.

The economic volatility, particularly the recent decrease in median income despite the increasing white majority, is somewhat atypical and may indicate broader economic challenges affecting the area or changes in the type of residents moving into the neighborhood.

The Capitol Hill Area has transitioned from a moderately diverse community to one with a strong White Majority over the past decade. This shift has been accompanied by significant economic fluctuations and a decrease in overall population, suggesting complex socio-economic factors at play that may be reshaping the character and composition of this historic Nashville neighborhood.
