The neighborhood has undergone a transition from a Black plurality to a Black majority over the last ten years. In 2013, the Black population was 56%, decreasing to 42% by 2017, before increasing to 51% in 2022. This pattern suggests a period of outmigration followed by a return or influx of Black residents. The White population has also fluctuated, starting at 39% in 2013, reaching 50% in 2017, and settling at 44% in 2022. These changes indicate a period when the neighborhood was close to becoming a White plurality before reverting to its current Black majority status. The Hispanic population, although small, has shown volatility, peaking at 5% in 2014-2015 before declining to 2% by 2022.

The median income in East Sqope Highlands has demonstrated significant volatility over the decade. It started at $24,427 in 2013, peaked at $42,080 in 2018, and then fluctuated before reaching $38,676 in 2022. This economic pattern correlates with the demographic shifts observed in the neighborhood. The period of highest median income in 2018 coincided with a more balanced racial distribution, with 46% Black and 49% White residents. This suggests a possible association between increased diversity and economic improvement. However, the subsequent decline in income alongside the shift back towards a Black majority indicates that other factors may have influenced the neighborhood's economic trajectory.
