The Daybreak neighborhood in Bartlett, Tennessee, demonstrates characteristics of a "White Majority" community, with 64% of the population identified as white in 2022. This percentage has been declining over the past decade, indicating a trend towards increased diversity. The neighborhood has a median income of $90,370 as of 2022, suggesting an affluent suburban area. Daybreak is known for its well-maintained parks and green spaces, contributing to its appeal as a residential area.
Over the past decade, Daybreak has transitioned from a "Low Diversity" community to one approaching "Moderate Diversity." In 2013, the neighborhood was in the "White Majority" category with 75% of the population identified as white. By 2022, this percentage had decreased to 64%, while the Black population increased from 18% to 29%. This shift indicates a trend towards a more diverse community composition.
The Asian population has increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1-3% throughout the decade. These changes suggest that Daybreak is gradually moving towards a "Transitional Community" status, with increasing representation from various racial groups.
The median income in Daybreak has fluctuated over the years but has generally remained high. It peaked at $100,577 in 2019 before decreasing to $90,370 in 2022. This decrease coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. The periods of highest median income (2018-2019) correspond with an acceleration in the neighborhood's diversification. The population has remained relatively stable over the decade, with slight fluctuations. The most recent trend shows a small increase from 6,086 in 2020 to 6,229 in 2022.
The demographic shifts observed in Daybreak align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The high median income of Daybreak remains well above the national median household income. This suggests that despite demographic changes, the neighborhood has maintained its status as an affluent area.
The gradual increase in diversity, coupled with sustained high incomes, may indicate that Daybreak is experiencing "suburban integration," a phenomenon where minorities with higher socioeconomic status move into traditionally white, affluent suburbs. This trend has been observed in various metropolitan areas across the United States.
Daybreak exemplifies a suburban neighborhood in transition, moving from a low-diversity, white-majority area to a more diverse community while maintaining its economic prosperity. This evolution reflects broader national trends and suggests a future of increased diversity and potential for community growth and development.
