The neighborhood's economic profile has shown growth. Median income increased from $127,631 in 2013 to $133,891 in 2022, a 4.9% increase. This income growth correlates with the increasing percentage of White residents. The population grew from 294 in 2013 to 312 in 2022, indicating a stable community.
Bluff View's demographic homogeneity contrasts with broader national and urban trends towards increasing diversity. Many urban areas in the United States have been experiencing a Transitional Community phase, with growing Hispanic and multiracial populations. Bluff View's resistance to this trend may be attributed to its high property values and established community character.
The neighborhood's high median income exceeds the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. This economic disparity, combined with the area's low diversity, suggests that Bluff View may be experiencing a form of economic segregation, potentially limiting access for more diverse populations.
Bluff View represents a stable, affluent, and predominantly White enclave within Columbus. It has maintained its demographic and economic status over the past decade, contrasting with broader trends of increasing diversity in urban areas. This stability may present challenges for future integration and diversity initiatives in the neighborhood.
