Fox Meadow Farms in Loveland, Ohio, is characterized by low diversity, with a predominantly white population of 98% in 2022 and a median income of $104,391. This affluent suburban neighborhood has maintained a high median income over the past decade, exceeding the national average. Fox Meadow Farms is known for its spacious lots and equestrian-friendly environment, attracting residents who value a rural lifestyle near urban amenities.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Fox Meadow Farms has consistently been categorized as having low diversity. The white population has remained dominant, ranging between 94% and 98%. Other racial groups have had minimal representation, with a slight Hispanic presence peaking at 3% from 2016 to 2020 and a recent small multiracial population of 2% in 2021 and 1% in 2022.
Despite the overall stability in racial composition, there are subtle indications of a potential transitional community. The recent appearance of residents identifying as two or more races, along with fluctuations in the Hispanic population, suggests the beginning of a very gradual diversification process.
The neighborhood has experienced significant economic growth over the decade. Median income increased from $94,928 in 2013 to a peak of $118,582 in 2019, representing a 24.9% increase. There was a decrease in 2020 to $104,336, possibly due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, median income has stabilized around $105,000.
The period of highest income growth (2013-2019) coincided with the slight increase in Hispanic representation, suggesting that the neighborhood's economic prosperity may have attracted a small number of affluent Hispanic residents. Population figures have fluctuated over the years, from a high of 1,919 in 2011 to a low of 1,232 in 2021. The current population of 1,441 in 2022 indicates a recovery from the 2021 dip but remains below the peak levels of the early 2010s.
Fox Meadow Farms' demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The median income in Fox Meadow Farms ($104,391 in 2022) is substantially higher than the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. This indicates that the neighborhood remains an enclave of affluence, potentially limiting opportunities for increased diversity due to high housing costs.
The neighborhood's resilience in maintaining high median incomes, even through the economic challenges of 2020, suggests a robust local economy and potentially insulated job market for its residents. While Fox Meadow Farms has seen minimal racial diversification over the past decade, its economic trajectory has been notably positive. The community's ability to maintain its affluent status and begin showing signs of incremental diversity may indicate a gradual opening to change while preserving its distinct suburban character.
