Over the past decade, Haynes Park has consistently maintained its status as a Black Majority neighborhood. From 2013 to 2019, there was a gradual decrease in the Black population percentage, from 86% to 78%. The White population saw a modest increase during this period, rising from 13% in 2013 to 18% in 2018, before declining again.

The economic landscape of Haynes Park has shown considerable volatility. Median income increased from $39,857 in 2013 to a peak of $48,162 in 2019. There was a sharp decline to $34,836 in 2020. While there was a recovery to $42,176 in 2021, the median income dropped again to $32,646 in 2022, indicating ongoing economic challenges.
These economic fluctuations do not seem to correlate strongly with the minor demographic shifts observed. The neighborhood has maintained its Black Majority status despite these economic ups and downs.
The persistent Black Majority in Haynes Park is notable. The economic volatility, particularly the sharp declines in 2020 and 2022, may reflect broader economic challenges faced by many communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. The median income of $32,646 in 2022 is significantly below the national median household income, suggesting that Haynes Park faces more substantial economic challenges compared to the national average.
Haynes Park presents a picture of a neighborhood with stable racial demographics but facing significant economic challenges. The persistence of its Black Majority status, combined with recent declines in median income, may indicate a need for targeted economic development initiatives to support the community's financial well-being while preserving its cultural identity.
