Fisher Park, a neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina, maintains a "White Majority" demographic composition, with 62% of its population identifying as white in 2022. The neighborhood's population increased from 2,325 residents in 2010 to 3,953 in 2022. The median income in Fisher Park was $47,091 in 2022. Fisher Park is known for its historic district, featuring turn-of-the-century homes and a park.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Fisher Park consistently maintained a "White Majority" status. The white population percentage fluctuated between 59% and 66%. The black population remained the second-largest group, comprising 25-30% of the population. The "two or more races" category grew from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. Asian and Hispanic populations remained stable at about 2-3% each.

Fisher Park's persistent "White Majority" status contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in urban areas. The neighborhood's median income, even at its peak, was lower than the national median household income. The decline in median income from 2020 to 2022 likely reflects broader economic challenges due to the pandemic, though the extent of the decline seems more severe than national averages.
Fisher Park presents a case of a historically white-majority neighborhood maintaining its demographic character while experiencing economic fluctuations. The neighborhood's continued population growth despite income volatility suggests other factors, possibly including its historic character and urban location, continue to make it an attractive residential area.
