Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Home Beautiful Park has consistently maintained its status as a Black majority community.

A small but notable emergence of residents identifying as two or more races (2%) appeared in 2021 and 2022, potentially indicating the beginning of a slight diversification trend.
