Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Cameron Village maintained its status as a Black Majority community.

The recent trend of increasing median income alongside a slight decrease in the Black majority percentage (from 91% in 2020 to 87% in 2022) could indicate early stages of gentrification. Despite fluctuations, the overall trend of increasing median income from 2015 to 2022 suggests economic resilience. While many urban areas are experiencing increasing diversity, Cameron Village has maintained its status as a predominantly Black community.
Cameron Village presents a case of a neighborhood that has maintained its Black Majority status while experiencing significant population growth and economic fluctuations. The recent trends of increasing income and subtle shifts in racial composition suggest that the neighborhood may be on the cusp of more significant demographic changes in the coming years.
